The days of sleeping late and sort of reading are over.
It's time to set alarms and use those brains. Yay!
OK, so maybe the kids aren't that rah-rah -- not yet. If your kids are like ours, they're a little sleepy and a little anxious.
So this year, I've selected books to pep them up. The idea is to find books that excite them about school and build up their confidence in learning.
I've tried to anticipate some of needs kids have at one grade or another, whether it's to learn to read, get math to stick or find a friend to sit with.
So this year, I've created 12 themes that speak to kids. Among them: "I Get It!" (books that simplify the complex stuff), "Log It" (books to help with reading logs) and "Go Boys Go!" (books to get boys reading more).
Each of the themes (which are also the titles of the posts) appear below as live links, but you can also scroll down the main page to read posts or jump around.
Most of the books are new this year; a few aren't out just yet, but I've put their release dates in bold near the title so you know when to look for them.
Finally, relax and enjoy. And a toast: here's to all of our kids moving upward and onward with a skip and smile.
1. Don't Worry, Be Happy. Three books to help let their guard down and enjoy school.
2. Want to Sit Together? Three books to help turn classmates into friends.
3. I Can Read! Three books new readers will love, whether they're raring to read or reluctant to
