Create Your Own Islamic Summer Reading Program

Maybe your children need a little more incentive to read than your local library’s summer reading program. Or maybe you want to expand their Islamic and cultural awareness over the summer, when there a fewer influences from classmates. Either way, summer reading programs are proven to be an efficient, fun way to pickup where school leaves off.

1. Find a Great Read

Jannah’s List has an extensive list to choose from (see the reading list below), but feel free to add your own!

2. Keep Track!

Log the minutes your child spends reading as each member of the family may have different reading levels. Don’t forget to have your child set their own reading challenge for the summer!

3. Earn Rewards in Weekly Challenges

Set individual goals for your child with a simple gold star sticker chart of one of these downloadable charts. At the end of each week, reward your child with a small wrapped gift. These do not need to be expensive, but something special to praise all their hard work.

4. Share Your List!

Put together a list of titles you liked to share with others and swap books.
