Summer is filled with fun - outside at the pool, exploring the backyard, and running around with friends. Make sure your child's summer is also a little educational. Summer reading programs are a great way to keep kids minds working during the summer, while still having fun!

Below's a list of free sites to get you started:

• Read.gov
• Library of Congress for Kids and Families
• Big Summer Read (2013) – Reading Rockets
• Diverse Summer Reading List for Kids
