Reading in the Summer?

So, it is getting close to summer …
Do you have a list of books that you would like to read this summer? Plans for books to take to the pool or beach? Plans to read on a trip?
Do your children or students have any ideas about what they might like to read this summer?
Big Universe has lots of great options for summer reading (and for anytime reading)!
Here are a few of my ideas on ways I might use BigUniverse this summer with my daughter:
- I might let my daughter pick a certain topic for a week and read as many books as possible that week about that topic
- I could do an advanced search in the sidebar to find books interesting for my child’s age
- My child could pick 3 Categories listed in the sidebar and then we can try to read a certain number of books from each category to compare.
- Have you ever looked at the Big Universe Staff Picks ? We might look at those to see what others like before choosing a book to read one day.
- Although I am sure all the books on the site are worth reading, it might be fun for my daughter and I to look at the Last 150 Books Added to the Site to discover something to read.
- We could read books created by a certain publisher or author one week.
- We might look at the books that others have added to their bookshelves recently to find some good idea.
- We could decide to read fiction books on BigUniverse one week and then nonfiction books another week.
My daughter loves to pick out books to read on BigUniverse. Have certain categories or types in mind to help guide her selection might be helpful for me to make sure she experiences a wide variety of books over the summer.
Do you have any ideas on ways you can use BigUniverse for summer reading experiences? I would love to hear your ideas!
