Catholic Summer Reading Program

Congratulations to Aquinas and More for their creation of the Catholic Summer Reading Program. The winner of this summer's book selection process was the fabulous Swimming With Scapulars: True Confessions of a Young Catholic which remains one of my favorite books of all time. (You can read my review and interview with author Matthew Lickona here.)

One of my favorite aspects of the program is the Kids' Sheet, a downloadable Catholic summer reading log for children. Your kids can log their Catholic summer reading efforts and then submit the sheet to win prizes.

If you're looking for a listing of Catholic children's books, take a look at our Catholic Children's Book Club recommendations at CatholicMom.com. This list is in need of updating, but will give you a great starting point. There is also a comprehensive, grade level list at the Catholic Summer Reading site.

Has all of this talk of reading made you feel like curling up with a good book? Sounds great to me! Be on the lookout later today or tomorrow for our July Book Club selections for CatholicMom.com.
