With so much free time on their hands, kids often spend their summers playing and relaxing. But reading is just as important as recreation, and Reading in Preschool has some techniques to keep books in the hands of children all summer long. The New York City-based in-home private tutoring service offers reading classes, a summer reading program, and personalized attention to help students as young as three years old learn to read.

Here are some tips for your child’s summer reading program:

• Play The Alphabet Game: Young children may have a tough time focusing on a book during a road trip. The alphabet game makes reading fun by awarding points for finding letters from A to Z on signs outside. Encourage car competitions among the family.
• Develop A Family Summer Reading Program: Get every member of your family to participate in the same summer reading program. Select an age-appropriate book, set a schedule, and read the story together. You can also break up the summer reading program by playing word games.
• Take Books Outside: The best weather in New York City occurs during the summer months. Take advantage of this by bringing a book to the playground or park. Kids will love burning off energy as they play, then catching their breath while reading a story.

Reading in Preschool helps children from ages three to ten learn to read. Their reading classes are led by caring, passionate staff dedicated to your child’s success.
