Summertime is a great opportunity to expand our reading base. Every summer I set a goal of reading something specific besides my normal pursuits and interests. One summer I read The Complete Works of Shakespeare, another summer I read Emily Dickinson, and another summer I read The Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew books. This summer I have chosen biographies/diaries of women; the first one is Louisa May Alcott and then Anne Morrow Lindberg. I continue reading the things I normally do and between each of those books I read one of the special summer category. It has been a great way to re-read favorites and expand my horizons. This is a great way to get children to read something they normally wouldn't pick up.
