The summer holidays are a well-earned break — especially for teachers, and definitely for families. After months of packed schedules, school runs, and homework routines, everyone deserves to slow down, recharge, and enjoy some well-needed rest.
But while it’s tempting to let go of all routines, there’s one habit worth keeping on track: reading.
Why? Because even a few weeks away from regular reading can cause children to lose progress — especially when they’ve worked so hard during the school year to build fluency and confidence. The good news? Keeping reading alive during the summer break doesn’t need to be hard, boring, or just another thing on your to-do list!
Make Reading Part of Summer Fun
Whether it's five minutes before bed, a quiet hour in the garden, or a rainy afternoon on the sofa, reading can easily fit into your summer routine. With the Pageticker app, reading becomes something your child actually wants to do. You don’t need to worry about paper reading logs or spending hours finding suitable books.
Here’s how:
🌟 Earn badges and rewards Children earn virtual badges as they hit reading milestones. It’s a little nudge of motivation that keeps them engaged — and proud of their progress.
🚀 Track progress together You and your child can see how often they’re reading, how long for, and which books they’ve completed. It’s simple, visual, and encouraging — perfect for goal-setting over the summer.
📘 Get book recommendations
Not sure what to read next? Pageticker offers a carefully curated library of books across genres and age ranges, all chosen with purpose to match your child’s reading level and interests, helping you avoid the “what now?” gap when they finish a favourite.
Built for Families & Loved by Teachers
Pageticker is designed to be light-touch for parents but powerful enough to support learning. Teachers love it because it helps maintain momentum through the break, so pupils return in September with confidence — not catch-up stress.
Whether you're a parent wanting to keep the love of reading alive or a teacher recommending tools for the break, Pageticker is an easy win.
Keep the Habit Going
You don’t need to turn summer into school. You just need to keep the habit alive. Just a few minutes of reading a day can make a real difference — and with Pageticker, it’s easy, rewarding, and even fun.
