When I was growing up, I had trouble sitting down and reading for long periods of time. My parents were big on education and not letting the mind "rot" over the summer. They had this reading contest that included us 4 kids and 4 or so more kids from the neighborhood. The general goal was to finish 10 books by the end of the summer. If you were the first one to accomplish the goal you got to choose a place to take everyone on a day trip. Runner ups got toys or something else. I tried every year, and ever year I fell short.
So, as I grew older and wiser, I decided to try, try again. Last summer, I made it! This summer I'm including my adult students. Much like my parents, I am big on not letting the mind "rot" before, during, or after the summer!
What books are you reading this Summer?
