It’s been a busy year for the ReaderKidZ and an even busier seven years since we first began blogging with the purpose of providing teachers, librarians, and parents with the resources and inspiration to foster a love of reading in kids, K-5. Along with the times, our schedules are changing and it’s become harder for us to maintain weekly posts. We’ve enjoyed sharing our love of books with readers and plan to jump back in from time to time, but for now, we’re taking a break.
Over the years, we’ve read many amazing books and, we hope, introduced you to many books and authors you might not have, otherwise, known about. We leave you with lists of many more good books, suggestions provided by the American Library Association, Indie Booksellers, and the Horn Book:
- ALSC Summer Reading Lists 2017
- Summer 2017 Kids’ Indie Next List (scroll down for books in the Ages 4-8 and Ages 9-12 categories)
- 2017 Summer Reading from the Horn Book (Picture Books)
- 2017 Summer Reading from the Horn Book (Intermediate)
- ALA Notable Children’s Books 2017
Another great summer reading option, courtesy of Arbordale Publishing:
- Summer Reading Around the World (25 dual-language, interactive ebooks, free for the summer for all children and families)
Happy Reading!
