Parent Talk

Each week, our Parents Council of experts takes your questions, gives advice and shares solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

This week’s question is:

What are some good summer reading picks for your children or teenagers?

Judy Vincent:

My daughter is just starting chapter books, but she likes Henry and Mudge.  She enjoys nonfiction books best, learning about real things -  animals, insects, places, people and life experiences. The teacher sent home a few ideas that are good for her exact independent reading level. I do understand that every child is different and interests vary.
