Your Next Great Adventure Awaits: Read Over Fall Break!
The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and a much-deserved fall break is just around the corner. While visions of bonfires and outdoor fun might fill your head, there's another kind of adventure waiting for you: the kind inside a good book. Reading over your break isn't homework—it's a journey, a relaxation tool, and a way to make your time off even more exciting.
Why should you read during your break?
Keep your brain sharp: Reading helps you practice the amazing skills you've worked on all year. Just a little reading each day can prevent the "learning slide," so you'll feel ready and confident when you return to school.
Travel anywhere without leaving your home: A book is a passport to another world. You can visit a magical castle, explore the deep sea, or solve a mystery in a faraway land—all from your favorite reading spot.
Discover new things: Reading can spark new interests! If you love animals, grab a book about wildlife. If you're curious about how things work, try a science book. You might discover a new hobby you never knew you had.
Relax and unwind: Sometimes, the best break is a quiet one. Curling up with a book is a perfect way to de-stress and escape into a captivating story.
Reading isn't just for books!
If you’re a reluctant reader, remember that reading isn't just about novels. There are plenty of fun things to read that can get you hooked.
Graphic novels: The combination of pictures and words can make a story even more thrilling. Check out the popular Dragon Girls series or other titles recommended by your local library.
Magazines: Get a subscription to a magazine like Highlights or National Geographic Kids. It's fun to get mail, and each new issue is packed with interesting articles, games, and puzzles.
Cookbooks: If you love to bake, ask a parent to help you find a recipe. Reading and following the instructions in a cookbook is a delicious way to practice your skills.
Audiobooks: Perfect for car rides or for relaxing at home, audiobooks bring stories to life. Your local library likely has plenty of free options.
