Summer Reading Adventures!

As students head out for summer break, share these fun and useful reading and enrichment opportunities to support their summer reading adventures:

Spread the word with an interactive digital summer reading resources flyer.

Complement and expand upon visits to the public library with ready-made Summer Reading Program lists of titles and resources to go along with them for popular programs such as CSLP, iREAD, Sora Sweet Reads, and more!
Browse and search through this list of over 3000 books and enjoy complete video readings or audio versions.
Delight in our Vooks collection: Each title includes a Vooks-exclusive "Video Book Reading" that includes beautiful animation, read-aloud narration, engaging music and sound, and read-along text. There are activities and resources for each book as well!

Promote Picture Book Fun! Use Digital Book Kits to support family engagement with stories and browse over 1,500 Story Time Activity Kits to spark excitement for reading.
Feature the “Find Book You’ll Like” tool where readers can browse and search for titles they might enjoy while on their own.
Create your own lists to share with readers! Print bookmarks or embed them into your digital pages!
And don't forget to watch or rewatch the Summer Reading Adventures with TeachingBooks webinar recording to see some ideas in action! (Passcode: H4UZr^6m)
