We’ve nearly reached our summer schedule, and I’m looking forward to more relaxed days with the boys. Reading is something our kids do a lot of over the summer months. They enjoy a little more freedom in their book choices and reading daily keeps their skills sharpened.
In celebration of the coming summer months, I made your kids (and you!) five cheerful Fruit of the Spirit bookmarks. I’ve been thinking a lot about how God sanctifies us and changes us, and these verses are just precious to me.
Summer Reading for Kids
Do your kids need something fun to read this summer?
Check out my YA historical fiction When Lightning Struck!: The Story of Martin Luther . It coordinates with a Playmobil Martin Luther. Fun, right?
The 500 year anniversary of the 95 Theses being nailed to the door of the Wittenberg Church occurred on October 31, 2017. Make sure your kids know how the Father of the Reformation changed the course of history!
You’ll find a free When Lightning Struck! discussion guide on the When Lightning Struck! book page.
Also, you can read a substantial portion of the first 8 chapters of the book. Just click on the “Preview” tab on the book picture above!

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here’s why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.
The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.

Wow, I did not know Playmobil had a Martin Luther, but my son loves Playmobil! I am anxious to read the book with him as well!
I like the unit studies bundles
I was planning on buying the book, but let’s see if I win it first. 🙂
Thanks for all of your resources!
Exciting!
We read on a constant basis so for us summer reading means that we might skip other learning and read more.
I am very interested in the character bundle. Almost everything in it is just what I wanted for my kids and the price can’t be beat!
for summer reading as a family, we usually read a chapter or 2 first thing in the morning, before all the hustle and bustle of activity for the day. the kids read to themselves before bed.
I like the Fine Arts bundle the best, but wouldn’t mind having the Homemaking Bundle of the Homeschool Helps Bundle. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway.
We spend summer reading similar to fall, winter, and spring reading! We read, read, read! There was a quote I heard once, something like…if you aren’t reading quality books, you don’t have anything over someone who can’t read! Have a great summer!
I think I’d like the Charlotte Mason bundle; they all look good.
My kids love to read.
I like the charlotte mason bundle the best, but I also think both the unit studies bundles are very cool 🙂
What cute bookmarks! Thank you for sharing.
Saw this book mentioned a little while back here and loved what it was about. Would love to get my hands on it for my two boys.
Thank You for the opportunity to win it! 🙂
The Character and Unit Studies 1 bundles look the best for us right now.
Charlotte Mason Inspired and Elementary #1
Summer reading is not a problem here as my kids LOVE to read! We spend some time every afternoon with books and participate in our library’s reading program.
As far as choosing a bundle, I am overwhelmed. It is a tough choice but the character one sounds exceptional.
Our family uses the library summer reading program as a springboard. I gather fun reading materials all year long for each of the kids (including items we didn’t get to during the ‘school year’). I let them read for fun with no strings attached.
I’m really interested in the Fine Arts and the Character & Bible bundles.
My daughter is at a reading level in which she can read independently. We continue on the same as our regular reading program. 🙁 thanks for a great giveaway!!
The bundles that appeal to us the most are the Elementary and Upper Grade levels along with the Character Bundle.
My children enjoy reading. They read to themselves every day.
I have twin teens. We start our day with 30 minutes of bible time, then do math (they do math year around) next, at least an hour of reading. We are a homeschooling family.
Summer reading–we just read all the time! No change summer or school year!
thank you. read the verses each time they open their books
Thank you for all the work you do to encourage us in raising our children for the Lord! It is such a blessing!
For summer reading, we participate in our local library summer reading program. Some reading must be done each day before screens are allowed.
For the Build a Bundle Sale, I’m interested in the Lego challenge product for $50, I think it was in the Brother Sister Bundle.
Every summer I have a reading contest. They earn a point per book, another point if it is a book off our school reading list and another point for reading to a sibling. For every 25 points, I purchase them a small gift. If they get 100 points, then they get a bonus gift.
I’m interested in the character bundle and homemaker bundle the most.
The kids love to read no matter what time of year it is
The bundle i like it the best is the character & Bible
We try to keep up reading all summer long, too. So many of the bundles look awesome, I’m finding it hard to choose!
Thank you!
We read two books before bed every night and do the summer reading program at the library
character bundle
for summer reading we just set aside some time and do it together outside
Character bundle!
I am most interested in the Elementary Bundles.
We do lots of read alouds and I make reading baskets for the kids rooms.
Our kids love to read . . . and all the time! They are looking forward to G.A. Henty as we head out west on a road trip.
You have made me want to start summer schooling right now! We love to spend time reading and more time outside and st zoos, parks hiking etc.
Our studies are literature based.
We visit the library often and they read at least two books a week.
It’s hard to decide between all of the bundles but if I had to choose one it would be the Character Bundle. I teach a Sunday school class so this bundle would benefit my family and students.
I would love to have the Character Bundle.
We have recently started going to our local library. We started out going maybe once every couple of weeks but now go every Tuesday. Our kids really look forward to our library trip and reading their book choices for the week. When we come home they spend the remainder of the day reading. I love that they are becoming lovers of reading like me.
For summer reading, we usually sign up with the local library or other businesses that offer a Summer Reading Club.
The bundles look great. Interested int he Elementary 1 and 2 and the Charlotte Mason bundle.
Lots to choose from but once again the Character and Homemaking bundles are definite purchases. Thank you also for blessing us with all your wonderful freebies.
I would love the character bundle. The Charlotte Mason one looks great too, but my kids are a bit too young for most of it.
There are several bundles that I’m eyeing — including the Fine Arts bundle and the Charlotte Mason bundle. We are huge readers around here; for summer reading, we participate in a couple of different library and bookstore-sponsored programs, we take turns with our evening read-aloud, and my daughter reads “under the covers” for 30 minutes before she sleeps.
We handle summer reading by enrolling in our libraries summer reading program. I also require reading everyday. At first it was a struggle for my oldest (10) but now she looks forward to the time she gets to read. She is often reading two or three books at the same time. My youngest (7) enjoys her books, but often has to be encouraged to read them. It works better for her if I sit and let her read to me.
All of the bundles have interesting content, however, I guess I would be most interested in the notebooking bundle.
We do reading every day, and we go to the library at least once a week to replenish our book supply. I like the brother and sister bundle and the notebooking, copywork, and lapbooks bundles.
I am really interested in the Fine Arts and Homemaking Bundles. I also see items in the Upper Level bundles that I would like but not sure if we would use more than one or two resources from those so not sure which will be my third bundle.
Summer reading is a fun time for us with our libraries reading club and other fun reading exploration. Ive got a few chapter books im hoping to read to the kids too.
We’re hoping to continue listening to an audio version of the Chronicles of Narnia while the youngest two give us quiet moments. We also have a few read-alouds we’ll be using for bedtime reading. Bedtime is our favorite time for reading together.
For summer reading, we join as many reading programs as we can…through Half Price Books, Barnes &Noble, Chuck E Cheese, and our local library. Then, we visit the library at least once a week to stock up on new stuff that peaks our curiosity.
Love all these chances to see new materials. Great stuff! Thanks!
The bundles are hard to narrow down. My favorites are Brother & Sister, Charlotte Mason, Elementary #1, and Unit Studies #1.
I like character bundle =)
I usually use the summer reading challenges from our library, this year I am going to do more reading aloud.
I have one avid reader and one beginning reader. We are looking forward to a summer of beach and books.
I’m interested in the Charlotte Mason and Character bundles. 🙂
I’d love the Upper Grades Bundle #2. Or maybe the Charlotte Mason one. Yes, one of those two!!
So many awesome choices. Great giveaway! Especially for those of us, who, (cough,cough) forgot to put it in the budget this week.
Still deciding. Upper grades 2, Charlotte mason , though I also like some of upper grades 1. Thinking of also trying to put together two premium build your own. There are a few things in fine arts bundle and early learning that I also want.
We have family reading time and then I have the kids read atleast an hour a day but they tend to read more than that😀
WE READ EVERY DAY !
the upper level #1 for $30
I am interested in both elementary, both unit studies, brothers & sisters, and Charlotte Mason.
I would like to check out the unit studies bundle as well as the Upper Elementary bundles.
My boys read when they are not swimming, or playing in the sprinklers. We always enter a book reading program at our local library. That helps keep them motivated.
Upper grade #1 or #2, both $30 These would work best for my older boys.
I encourage summer reading by including a certain amount of reading time in the kids’ list of things to do before they are allowed any sort of movie time. I love the little Playmobile Martin Luther! And I’ve been looking at that Bundle Sale trying to decide what might benefit this crew of mine the most! 🙂
We just started doing the summer reading challenge through our local Library. We are definitely going to sign up again this year!
Love the bookmarks! The book would be a great one for the family along with the mini martin luther!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to win the Martin Luther package to use for our Children’s Ministry!
Love the bookmarks!
Thank you for all your resources and making them available to us.
Charlotte Mason and Upper level #1
Can’t wait to order my bundles this year! I love some of the things I got last year!
I, too, had no idea Playmobil offered an assortment of real characters. What a neat way to explore Martin Luther! As for the bundle sale, I am overwhelmed with how much there is. This is the first year I’ve even heard of this, so now I am regretting all the boxed curriculum I bought and wishing i had known about this earlier!! If it weren’t for the curriculum I had already purchased, I would probably take nearly every bundle. If I had to choose for the Pick 5 $25 bundle, I already have the ones my kids want most ready and waiting! Thank you for these great bookmarks and these great giveaways! I am so thankful I found your website!!! May the Lord bless you abundantly for helping share His Word with others.
I have children who love to read so they read when they have a chance. We set an hour a day aside just for reading. I do read out loud to a couple that really don’t like to read
There are so many bundles I have my eye on! The Character, Brother Sister, Homemaking, Homeschooling Helps and the Fine Arts Bundles are the ones I am really interested in. All affordably priced from $10 – $20!!!
I would love to get the Charlotte Mason bundle.
I love to encourage my children to read during the summer. I print out these cute hole punch bookmarks I found on Pinter estate and offer them special rewards for 20 punches, which equalshould 20 minutes of reading.
I am so excited. I didn’t even know there was a Playmobil Martin Luther!
Audiobooks for road trips! Read some more from recently discovered favorite authors. Pick up some more historical fiction from this years history lessons. So many books….so little time, indeed! Thanks so much for being so very generous with your giveaways 😉
I’m interested in the Upper Grade #2, Charlotte Mason, and Fine Arts Bundle.
I’m looking at the Homemaking Bundle and the Early Learning Bundle.
We try to read a chapter a day over the summer of a classic book
I’m interested in the charlotte mason bundle
We are avid readers in our house, so I don’t have to encourage reading very often. However, to keep it fun and rewarding, we participate in our local library’s summer program as well as B&N and Sylvan. During the year, we take advantage of the Pizza Hut Book-It program.
I need items in upper grades 1& 2, and the Charlotte Mason bundle.
Summer reading is no different from the rest of the year. We school year round:)
The Charlotte Mason and Unit Study Bundles are on my list for sure! I’m also thinking about the Character Bundle as well.
Brother & Sister -$15 This one stands out great!!
As someone VERY new to home educating, the Charlotte Mason approach appeals to me greatly! So to see the Charlotte Mason Bundle is very attractive indeed. For what is being offered it looks superbe value!
I love the bookmarks as well as all of the options in the bundle. Still trying to decide as to what I might need in the next year or so for our little ones.
We always are reading. There’s no real change during the summer. 🙂
The Early Learning Bundle appeals to me the most. There’s a lot of good ones. I think the Brother & Sister Bundle and Fine Arts Bundle are also great!
I like to Build my own bundle. If I get too many resources I get overwhelmed. Love this sale!
I don’t think we handle it any differently at this point. Our kids all love to read, so they just read on their own whatever they want without need for prompting from us. We also do many many read aloud together as a family and really enjoy that time together.
I am looking forward to purchasing your book later this year to read for the anniversary. We read one on Saint Patrick for March 17th and were very blessed. It is one of my 4 year olds favorites.
Elementary #1
There are several bundles I would like to get…hard to choose!
My kids are constantly reading no matter what I do.
I think I need to build my own bundle.
I am looking at the Elementary Bundles 1 and 2, and the Upper Grades Bundle 2.
My kids have to read a short book or a chapter before activities on weekdays.
I would love to have the Charlotte Mason or Character bundles!
Our family continues a more laid back school schedule during the summer months which involves read-aloud books and poetry (on Fridays). We are currently reading The Indian in the Cupboard. 🙂
We really don’t have a specific summer reading program since we school all year and reading is a big part of that. We go to library and pick out books there interested in also do audio books during the day and night.
The bookmarks are great. We have a collection on top of one of our bookshelves for my stepson and husband to use. (I tend to just remember the page or chapter where I left off.) Maybe they will inspire my stepson to read more (we are struggling right now).
And having the opportunity to win your book is fantastic. Thank you.
I have several bundles in my cart. Love the build your bundle sale.
The bundles that interest me the most Is the elementary 1 $40.00, Early Learning $20.00, unit studies 1 $20.00 and the character training $20.00. Also the homemaking and homeschool helps $10.00. I’m sure there’s a lot more I like but those are the ones that most interest me.
We use our library summer reading program. We live close to three libraries so we read books and pick which programs we want to see at which library. Fun and inspiration all around.
Elementary bundle and Character bundle!
Forgot, we would be interested in the Charlotte Mason bundle.
Love that Luther! 😉
Thanks for the great resources. What a special site to have as a help to our homeschool.
My favorite bundle is the Character Bundle. The resources look like they would be very helpful discipleship tools!
We love to read and will continue to do read aloud during the summer. We also hope to participate in our library’s summer reading program.
There are so many great bundles, I am having a hard time deciding !
Wow Love this!! thank you!!
I like the 2 upper grade bundles.
I am really liking the Charlotte Mason bundle, my kids would enjoy the Brother and Sister one. Thank you!
I like the Charlotte Mason bundle and the Upper Elementary 2 bundle!
I would like either the Brother & Sister, Elementary Bundle #1 or Lapbook/Copywork! Thanks!
Thanks for putting all of this together!
Continuing on with the Little House on the Prairie book series throughout the summer! Thanks for the cool giveaway of the book & Playmobil figure!
Great resources. Thanks!
Summer reading is guided independent reading. And I am still looking at the Charlotte Mason.
The Upper Grades bundles are my favorite.
I’m really interested in the Elementary #1 bundle.
I love the elementary bundles, thank you!!
We read ALL THE TIME. During the summer we go to three different libraries and check out 20-50 books from each at a time, we LOVE to read. 🙂 Thank you so much for the chance to win!!
I have found something in every single bundle that I want! But I am most excited about the two Elementary bundles. Thank you so much for the chance to win $25 to buy more curriculum!!
It’s so hard to pick! I think I will do a build your own bundle so that I can pick and choose 🙂
So many great bundles it is hard to decide.
We love to read! Summer is the best time to catch up on all those books we have wanting to get to.
Love the book marks!! Thanks for sharing them!
So many great products to choose from.
Thanks for a chance to win $25 off, it would be such a blessing to our family!
Early Learning
Anything would be a blessings. I have kids of all ages.
In the summer we pick out whatever books we want from the library. No themes (unless we want them), no book lists, no prizes, no rules. We let the Spirit lead us:)
Reading is not a problem in this household. It is more keeping track of who is reading what 🙂
We utilize the library and Yard Sale.
My kids are pre-readers who love to be read to, so summer reading so far has just been a continuation of the rest of the year 🙂
We really enjoy going to the library and just reading our bibles with our special bible tabs <3
The Martin Luther playmobil is great! My sons would be so excited!
We read every night before bedtime. Right now we are reading Pilgrims Progress.
We’re reading that too!
We love to read in the summer!
We participate in several library reading programs. Their favorite is the one that gets them tickets to Elitch’s which is our local amusement park. It makes an annual visit affordable.
Thank you for this interesting and educational giveaway.
Marion
We read together at night to unwind and we go to library events through out the summer
We keep a reading log
My kids love to read! During the summer we participate in several local libraries’ summer reading programs. I am also an Usborne Books consultant and run a Summer Reading Challenge which my kids can be part of.
We are doing a summer reading challenge as a family. Once we hit 1000 points we are going to the zoo! We have individual awards too. This has been a great motivator for my struggling readers.
I’m looking forward to reading your book with the boys
We have used ‘bingo’ cards, lists, and other printables. We have kept track of time, pages, books, genres – time has been the easiest. We have done prizes for the younger ones; usually book related. The older ones like book money for books on their wishlist. I keep a box of new books and they are allowed to pick one after one has been read. There are a few ‘required’ reading marked with a sticker – the rest are classic stories – or stories related to our next year’s history. This system works great – we get in a whole semester’s worth of reading within a very short time 🙂
I’m planning to use this book and your study guide with my 11 and 8 year olds for school next year! This would be a great win!
We join the summer reading program at our local library
Thanks for the opportunity!
Myself and the grands are members of the county library. We will visit at least once a week.
How cute!! My youngest son loves Playmobil! I had no idea they had a Martin Luther
I just finished reading Luther and Katharina by Jody Hedlund, so I am very interested in Martin Luther right now. I would love to win the book to read myself and then share with my church kids
We will be studying the Reformation in the fall. This looks like the perfect book to add understanding to our study.
For summer reading we mostly use the library summer reading program. And we read. We are a reading family, so nothing special is needed to get us reading.
My sons always sign up for the summer reading program at the library.
We started the coolest reading activity 2 months ago – Facetime reading with Dea and Depa (Grandma and Grandpa). My parents live multiple states away. In an attempt to help grow the relationship between my parents and my daughter (and to give me some time to get some things done) they offered to Facetime and listen to her as she learns to read. What a blessing! She has a plethora of books to read that may require assistance with just a few words, but otherwise she is working on fluency. They learn and laugh together and she gets WAY more reading time in per week with them than with just me. This is now a staple in our homeschool for all seasons!
We sign up for summer reading and the prizes they earn is more than enough motivation for my kids (even the non-readers)!
fortunately, we only live two blocks from our city’s central library–always a book within our grasp!
A quick way to pique a child’s interest in Martin Luther is to refer to the “Diet of Worms”. a laugh is usually a good way to start things off.
I’ve found the summer reading program at the library works for most kids. Also required reading times during the day work well.
This giveaway would be so helpful.
We read at night always before bed, but if the kids get bored they usually will read!!!!!!
We have a lot of books, but we also spend a good deal of time at the library! Thanks for this opportunity!
Getting my kids to read has never been a problem. Getting them to put away the books to do other things is the problem. I think they acquire their love for reading by watching me.
We homeschool year round, so we don’t really have “summer reading”–my readers are voracious and devour good books throughout the year.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful giveaway!
My oldest is hardly seen without a book in hand, and my youngest is just beginning to sound out words, so we have a hearty mix of read-alouds and independent interest-driven reads during the summer. This year my daughter set a goal to work through the Mensa kids’ reading list, so she’ll be plenty busy. Thanks for the giveaway!
I really love the fruit of the Spirit bookmarks. My daughter is studying those right now. We’ll be printing some and passing them out at church. As for reading…it’s kid’s choice right now – at least 30 minutes a day. This summer we’ll be doing some read aloud time together.
Excited to read this!
We love to read. This summer we will go to the reading days at the library and the kids will check out books that they want to read for fun. We don’t have set books for summer. Thanks for the giveaway.
We read all summer and enjoy being more free to choose the books as opposed to the school year when books are chosen for the kids.
I have not seen this book before. It looks wonderful! I know I have a child who would love to get his hands on “Martin Luther”. 🙂 Our summer reading consists of independent reading and read aloud under our big shade tree.
Great giveaway!
For summer reading, we make a LOT of library trips and read all manner of things, and the younger kids always participate in the summer reading program.
Last year I saw a great “reading challenge” which I presented to my kids and will probably do the same or something similar this year: Read 1 fiction, 1 non-fiction, 1 biography, 1 science-based. It was a great way to expand their horizons.
Our library has a great summer reading program – with prizes & incentives for reading & for exercise – we participate in that & it really motivates the kids (& me) to read over the summer.
For years we have participated in the summer reading programs at our local library. It encourages & keeps us all accountable to continue reading in the summer.
Love the bookmarks!
I don’t know much about Martin Luther. One of the reasons I love homeschooling – I’m learning w/ the kids.
Ooh! We’re studying Martin Luther this year. I love it!!
We school all yr long & participate in summer reading programs.
We spend lots of time at the library getting books all year round. Summer just means MORE reading time!
I homeschool both ms and hs…this would be a great resource
we don’t school in the summer but my kids love to read in their down time. plenty of library books and home books to read of THEIR choice, not mom telling them what to read.
I’m just getting started with everything to teach my kids and thought this book looked so wonderful!
Thank you very much for this wonderful giveaway! Our children love to read! These would be magnificent!.
Thank you!
Blessings..
What a cute figurine of Martin Luther to go with the book.
We do the library summer reading program so far but we are about to start Tapestry of Grace so I think they have some suggestions for summer reading too. One of my friends suggested learning about a different country every month so we may do that.
We just made our summer reading goal chart today. 🙂 1 sticker = 30 min of reading. 1 toy from the dollar tree each week for 5 stickers if they get 10 stickers in a week they can pick out 3 toys. 1 sticker = 30 minutes of electronics time whether kindle or TV.(Saturdays and Sundays are free days)
Then at 3 weeks(15 stickers) they get to pick out a toy for $20 or less. At week 7 (35 stickers) they get a trip to Gator and Friends. That’s what they picked for their adventure. 🙂
Reading is a really big thing in our house. The tough part is getting the kids to stop! If I can’t find one of the kids for chores, they are most likely reading something!
We love to read every day!!
We’ll sign up for our library’s summer reading challenge this year. My oldest loves to read, so the hard part will be keeping track of how many books he completes!
We do the summer reading program at our library & spend time most days reading together & on our own.
We utilize our summer reading program at the Library.
I can’t wait to teach my kids about church history when they are a little older. This will be a great book for that.
For summer reading, we participate in our libraries reading program.
We handle summer reading well. We are usually signed up for at least four reading programs during the summer. I have a set time in the afternoon where we settle down, set our 30 minute timers, and go for it. If anyone wants to read past the timer they may do so.
We read hours a day all year around…so it’s more a matter of trying to pay attention to how long we are reading so I can record it on the library summer reading record
Martin Luther is on our home school history schedule for next year…. and Fruits of the spirit (need to download those bookmarks)
Love the bookmarks & my little girl will too. 🙂 Looking forward to learning more about Martin Luther.
What a great idea! I look forward to reading this too with my kids, of course. 🙂
We keep lots of books and visit the library.
My kids are big readers, as long as I keep them with new books they will have a book in their hands.
Summer Reading… happens like reading during the rest of the year, with the added benefit of “rewards” from the library and Barnes and Noble, etc…
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YAY!!! FIrst thing I ever won! I’m so excited! 😀
