What's on your summer reading list?

With summer finally here, some of us at Charlotte's My Dentists have been thinking more and more about the importance of summer reading. Sure it’s easier to go relax at the beach, hit the mall or watch TV most days, but reading during the summer is a vital step in brain development. After all, TV doesn't replicate the experience of reading a good book - books are great for kids as well, as reading helps children maintain their skill level and be prepared for classes in the fall. In addition, a new study has found that the number of books in the home might predict a child's educational future.

Out of ideas for great summer reads? Ask us for suggestions, and our staff would be more than happy to provide a few great titles. You may also ask a local librarian here in Charlotte for some ideas or check out various summer reading lists that we came across this afternoon, courtesy of Barnes & Noble.

Happy reading everyone!
