I picked up all four of Jason Reynolds’ Track Books for my son, who love all things sports. And so far, we’ve had pretty good results. So I’ve tried my best to make it easy for them, and to help them pick books that I just know they’ll respond to.
But in between camps, and summer classes, and the never-ending monster that is swim team, there just hasn’t been a lot of reading going on. I’ve desperately been trying to get my kids to read this summer.
