The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

We Give Books Summer Program Comes to an End

We Give books

We, at The Things You Can Read, hate to see summer end, but as everyone gets ready for the new school year, we know that fall is just around the corner! With summer's end, we also see all those wonderful summer reading programs wind down too, so we wanted to make everyone aware of the last of the We Give Books Summer Program selections. Let us know, here at The Things You Can Read, how many you read. The complete list can be found at the bottom of this post. Enjoy those last vestiges of summer, as we all move toward fall.

Happy reading!

Excerpt from the We Give Books Website:

Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad

Finish the Read for My Summer program with a second installment of Ladybug Girl – and get ready for We Give Books’ next big campaign: Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. This week’s book is Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad. In this story about playing well with others, Lulu is excited for the Bug Squad to come over for a play date. But when things don’t go just the way Lulu planned, feelings are hurt and apologies are necessary. Sounds like a job for Ladybug Girl, who knows how to be brave and say she’s sorry, even when it isn’t easy.

Read Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad this week, and pledge to read it again to help set the World Record on Read for the Record day – October 4!
