The Sandbox Playful Kids Summer Reading Program by Becca's Book Box

Meet Me At The Sandbox!

As a literacy specialist, teacher, and reader, my deepest wish for your children is for them to grow into lifelong readers. But cultivating literacy in littles takes time and as a mom myself, I know that time is your most valuable (and often depleted) resource.

So I have poured my heart into this project, curating 7 weeks of high-quality, high-interest, beautifully-written books to fuel learning, ignite imagination, stop the summer slide, and hold your child’s interest all summer long.

What’s In The Sandbox?

Z

over 200 of my favorite teacher and parent-approved children’s book recommendations, tiered by skill level, for ages 0-10 (board books, picture books, chapter books, and higher-level fiction and non-fiction picture books)

Z

concise parent reading guide with optional tips to supercharge your child’s Sandbox experience

Z

over 100 engaging, themed, play-based activities to bring the books to life

This program is designed for…

$

a SAHM who wants something to boost your summer fun

$

a working mom who wants to know their kids are engaged and learning with the nanny but doesn’t want to micromanage

$

a mom whose child hates reading and you want them to fall in love with it

$

a grandparent who wants to be the cool grandparent with all the fun books and activities

$

a dad looking for all of the above or a new way to connect with their kids

This is a finely-tuned plan to get your kids reading

(and without complaints).

I’ve designed it to be child-led, play-based, and as hands-off (or hands-on!) for caregivers as possible.

I am so thrilled to present to you the ultimate summer boredom-buster and learning gains protector, The Sandbox, which has been designed for you and your child with so much love. Let’s dig in!
