June 1, 2025 is the 5th anniversary of this newsletter and what better way to celebrate than with the introduction of a Summer Reading Guide?! My goal with this first ever Summer Reading Guide is two-fold: (1) Provide activities to help encourage your kids to read more this summer; (2) Help your kids engage with the books they read this summer.
If you know someone who would enjoy this FREE Summer Reading Guide for kids, please share it with them using the button below.
My goal is simple: Provide book recommendations you can trust so your 8-12 year-old reader can find their next right book. If someone forwarded this email to you, I’d love to have you sign up so you can get future lists sent straight to your inbox.
Download the Guide
This guide is FREE to download. My goal is to help as many kids as possible connect with the next right book and so I do not have any of my Substack content behind a paywall. But, providing recommendations and creating guides does take time. So if you would like, feel free to use the tip jar below as a way of saying, “These are great resources, thank you!” (the 4-digits you can use on Venmo are 3848)
And now, are you ready for the free summer reading guide?!
Win an Author Zoom!
There are two BINGO boards in the reading guide for kids to print and complete. If you get a BINGO on either board, send me a picture of the board and you’ll be invited to join us during a Zoom with an author in September! Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
As a reminder, if you are looking for specific book recommendations for the 8-12 year-old reader in your life, let me know and I’d love to help out! And if you know anyone who might enjoy getting these book recommendations, you can share this with them via the button below!
Love this and wish that I had this years ago when I had little feet running all around my house!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
