Joyful Reading Starts Here — Even In The Summer Heat
July 15, 2025
Summer break can feel like a relief, until the academic backslide creeps in. But here's the good news: you don't need worksheets or tutoring marathons to keep your child reading. In fact, the best kind of summer reading often looks nothing like school.
At Dyscoveread, we believe reading should feel like discovery, not a daily struggle.
Here are 5 ways to make reading fun, flexible, and stress-free this July:
- Let reading happen naturally – Road trip signs, menus, scavenger hunts, and recipes all count.
- Use audiobooks or read-alouds – Listening builds vocabulary and understanding (and lowers resistance!).
- Offer choices – Let your child pick the format, time, and topic. Choice = power.
- Make it a game – Set small, achievable goals and celebrate effort with fun rewards.
- Focus on joy, not perfection – Every sentence read is a win. Consistency matters more than speed.
