The realization that school is less than a month away is beginning to set in which leads to the inevitable panic....I HAVEN'T READ MY SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT BOOK YET!!!!
I've had several parents and kids call and come in today looking for the books on their reading lists, and I've had to tell them that there is a waiting list. In all honesty, they are still ahead of the game and will probably get the books with some time to actually read them. My advice to parents with children of summer reading age is to be prepared. Don't wait until the last minute.
Here are links to some articles I found about how to help your child beat procrastination.

My kids will be entering preschool and kindergarten this year, and there is a bunch of stuff on my to-do list to get them ready. I am already stressing, yet knowing full well it just gets tougher as they get older. Hats off to the parents with to-do lists as long as their arms! You are my heroes!
