Summer Reading 2008

Make reading a fun part of the summer! This is a great time for children to read what they enjoy rather than what is required; while at the same time keeping their reading skills current. There are many reading lists and programs available on the web, some more commercial than others.  Below are several links that seemed appropriate and easy to use:
