Join the TD Summer Reading Club!

Hey readers,

Have you heard about the TD Summer Reading Club? This club makes it easy for kids to keep reading all summer by connecting families with books, inspiring a sense of play through reading, building confidence and celebrating accomplishments.

Award-winning author Marty Chan performs a live reading for kids and parents at the 2017 TD Summer Reading Club kick-off event.

Jennifer Schmitt from the Toronto Public Library has some tips on how to keep reading this summer:

• Sing silly songs in the car and make up the lyrics. This will help you learn how to think on-the-spot.
• When reading with a parent, make it more enjoyable by using a funny voice.
• Before turning over a new page, try to guess what the next sentence will be. Read half a story and have each member of your family write their own ending.
• Act out your favourite scene from a book!
• Join a summer reading club.
• Host a book swap. The secret to success is in sharing your knowledge. Get together with friends and family members with children and share reading materials through a book swap.
• Check out digital reading apps. Look for apps that can bring your family together while building storytelling, spelling, reading, writing and other skills through fun games.
