Build your child’s love for reading by bringing your child to the Cranbrook Public Library to join the fun of this year’s Summer Reading Club.

Help your child to set a realistic goal for summer reading. For our summer program reading 20 minutes per day for seven days will fill in one page of a reading log (they receive a sticker and a prize). After completing seven pages the child receives a medal.

Bring your child to the summer reading club programs at the Cranbrook Public Library. For seven weeks during the summer we will have programs for different age groups with stories and crafts.

Encourage your child to borrow books from the library. There are many great stories and information books just waiting to be read.

Encourage your child to share their favourite stories with you.

Establish a regular time for reading in your home for everyone.

Appreciate all the books your child selects. Summer is a time for fun and building reading confidence.

Make reading fun by inviting your child to read what they want.

Read to your child. Readers in the early years can understand far more advanced vocabulary than they are able to read.

Encourage older children to read aloud to younger children or to you.

Read yourself! Be a role model for your children.
