Jenna Bush Hager is committed to keeping her children engaged in reading over the summer to avoid the educational regression known as 'summer slide.' After a poor reading performance last year, she is implementing a strict but fun reading challenge. This includes no iPad usage during the week, linking screentime to reading time, and encouraging her kids with rewards for completed books. Jenna aims to create a relaxing summer while balancing work and family time, focusing on enjoyable learning experiences.
"I have a reading challenge going on in my house. Summer slide is a real thing, and that happens when your kids are not in school for months at a time."
"So if they're going to watch 30 minutes of television, they have to read for 30. Poppy was like, 'But what if I want to watch 8 hours?'"
"And they get special treats and such for every book they finish. It can be something simple like, 'I'm going to take you and me to go get a lemonade.'"
"Summer as a working mom can be hectic, but I've just decided this summer I want to slow things down. I want to try to get home earlier."
