With summer break over, it’s time for kids across to country to get back to the books. Hopefully, reading is a habit that continued over the summer. However, many children may need a little nudge to catch the reading bug again.
In an effort to keep your children reading, and enjoying it, try finding material that they are interested in. There are several publications, like the free children’s publication Kidsville News!, the nation’s fastest growing children’s newspaper, that have fun, interesting and educational articles that are geared towards elementary-aged children. This school year Kidsville News! is introducing an exciting 12-part serial story, “Quetzalcoatl,” that is sure to spark your child’s imagination. The adventure series, about a young boy, buried treasure and a strange and mysterious flying creature, begins in September and will also be available online at www.kidsvillenews.com.
