Summer Reading

School will be out this week, and for three months your children will be living the easy life--no homework and NO reading, right?
WRONG! say teachers, who say kids come back to school in September with a handicap from too much TV, video games and not enough reading.
I say this, not as an author, who only "thinks of book sales," but as a mom and as a former teacher myself, get those kids reading. It doesn't matter if it is a cereal box, the Sunday funnies or a really good book, just keep them reading!
The library is great, have them go and check out what they like, or better yet, go with them!
If they want to fidget on the computer, have them go to kid friendly sites and do reading interactive games, like scrabble, to keep their young minds sharp.
I will be at book signings all summer. My books are for readers beginning at age seven on up. The "Patrick" series has been narrated to audio CD as well. This is a great learning tool, to help kids stay on the path to honing their reading skills. They can follow along as they listen to the story.
Sounds pretty win-win, right?
My books are all available at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. Check out my website to see my appearance dates and times...www.dianeganzer.com.
I hope to see you there...or between the covers of my books!
