ALL BOOKS & HANDS-ON LISTS > SHANNON MCCLINTOCK MILLER CHOICE BOARDS
Summer is such a special time for our students to celebrate reading with lots of wonderful books that spark joy and curiosity. We can bring books to our summer reading programs from a variety of authors and illustrators, and something new.
It’s a great time to try out new books, read more books from a favorite author, continue with a series of books, and so much more. I think of the summertime as an opportunity to spark and foster the love of reading, so I spend a lot of time putting together collections of books to share with our readers throughout the summer.
There are so many special books that celebrate summer and all that it brings—from beach days to outdoor adventures to quiet moments under the sun. In this list, I brought together 30 new summer-themed books that will help keep the love of reading alive all season long.
Enjoy reading this summer too, friends.
You will find the You’ve Been Book’d choice board here and other resources here at my The Library Voice blog.
