Stop the summer brain drain by getting your kids hooked on reading this summer.
This is part two of the 10th annual KCRA summer beach reads series. Last week, we took a look at the best summer beach reads for adults with Tina Ferguson, owner of "Face in a Book" bookstore.
This week, we're focusing on books for kids of all ages. Tina says the key to getting a kid to put a screen down is to offer a book that's more compelling than any video. And there are lots to choose from.
Have a reluctant reader? Tina says it's helpful to let your child drive the book bus. Let them pick out what interests them.
Graphic novels continue to be a huge trend for kids who aren't naturally drawn to reading.
Her favorite this year is a book called "The Cartoonists Club."
"I chose this one because graphic novels are great for reluctant readers. A lot of parents might think graphical novels aren't what they would choose for their child. But graphic novels actually have great vocabulary," Tina says.
