My kids are so excited that the school year has come to a close and summer has officially begun. They’re looking forward to lazy mornings, pool days, and vacations! And to be totally honest, so am I. But to keep their little brains working over the summer months, we will continue to read. To make it easy for you, I’ve compiled a list of Kindle books for children that you can download instantly and begin reading over the summer.

If you and your children love reading as much as my family does, you may want to consider signing up for a FREE 30-day trial of Amazon Kindle Unlimited. It provides your family with unlimited reading, unlimited listening, on any device using the free Kindle App. For $9.99/month (after your free trial), you can explore over 1 million titles, thousands of audiobooks, and current magazines on any of your devices.
To encourage your children to read more over the summer, this Summer Reading Bingo printable provides fun prompts and ideas for reading. I created this Summer Reading Bingo printable that included some fun activities as well as normal, every day reading. I think there is a good mix of reading tasks to keep everyone interested in reading throughout the summer.
And because a game of Bingo is incomplete without rewards, there is a place for you to specify the reward for both BINGO and BLACKOUT.
