How to Keep Children’s Reading on Track This Summer

Summer is made for adventures — and what better adventure than getting lost in a great book? Whether it’s exploring magical worlds, solving mysteries, or meeting unforgettable characters, books open up endless possibilities for children 📚

Why Summer Reading Still Matters

⛱️ The “summer slide” is a well-known issue — many children lose valuable reading progress over the summer break. But with the right support, summer reading can actually improve comprehension, vocabulary, and confidence.

For many families and teachers, summer reading starts with the best intentions. But without the structure of term time, tracking progress becomes a real challenge. There’s no regular teacher interaction, traditional paper diaries often go missing, motivation dips— and by September, children often return to school with less reading confidence than they had in July.

That’s where Pageticker, the digital reading diary designed to boost children’s love of reading, makes all the difference. Pageticker helps turn that summer dip into a lift by making reading fun, easy to track, and meaningful for both schools and families.
