It’s not too soon to make plans for summer, is it? :0)
Making reading a family experience looks like a lot of fun in this link from Learnist:

The author gives ideas about how to celebrate authors’ birthdays by reading their stories and involving the family in related art work, cooking and field trips among other things. There is even mention of catching fireflies in July!
Once kids get interested in an author they often like to read every other book written by that author. Getting the family involved could be the answer to keeping kids involved in reading –and keeping skills sharp — over the summer.
