Summer started off with a bang.  We took a vacation, started camp, began the summer reading program at the library and try to get some swimming in.  The rain has dampened the swimming plans, so that means more reading.  My daughter, who is to be a kindergartener in the fall, is in the midst of learning how to read.  This is frustrating for me because as a reading teacher, I tend to get into the academic part of it.  I forget that it has to be on her terms and on her time.  So this morning she asked if she could earn her stickers for reading if she read two books.  She was going to "read them in her head."  I was just happy she did this on her own today.  She read Too Purpley and told me a lot of what she remembered out loud.  It was rather sweet.

So my goal is not to get myself to the library, by myself, to pick some great reads.  We are halfway through June and I haven't been able to do any pleasure reading of my own.    So what will you be reading?
