Not long ago, "summer reading" meant settling under a shady tree with a hefty book. Shady trees are still around, but books with pages can seem as out-of-date as vinyl records to many kids, especially older ones. Today, they scroll through content online, swipe pages on tablets, and manage a near-constant stream of media. Teachers can take advantage of these digital devices to enhance students' reading and writing abilities. Many, if not most, students embrace reading and writing in the digital realm. Students who have access to an e-reader device or app are frequently on the lookout for free downloads--and many classic novels such as Charles Dickens's "Great Expectations" and Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" fit the bill. Kids are also inspired by the digital reading choices of their peers. Of course, without guidance, many students will happily spend countless summer hours playing video games and visiting websites that have little educational value. That's where parents and teachers come in. Teachers can help by introducing students, and parents, to great websites and digital applications that encourage reading and writing. This article includes 10 websites for summer readers and 10 hot apps for skill building.
