Lookie here. The three of us lounging around reading on this summer day. I’d love to tell you that my daughters reach for books on their own, but alas, this librarian’s daughters (entering 7th & 9th grade) have to be forced to read. Yep. Monday through Friday we get comfy in our spots in the living room with our books, I set my iPhone timer for 20 minutes, & we read. I help them select books that will grab their attention, but even when they’re really digging their books, they don’t read them outside of our reading time. Maybe one day they’ll reach for books on their own. 🤞There’s just no denying that reading builds vocabulary, writing skills, and general knowledge, & I don’t want them to take a total break from reading in the summer months. So, there’s the backstory to this picture. I love our reading time. ❤️ #reluctantreaders #readingisfun #ipromise #mygirls #summerreading
