For most kids, summer vacation means taking a break from the daily routines of packed lunches, school buses and homework. But how do help them avoid taking a break from reading and learning?

Get some answers and share stories and successes at the #Owlkids “Dive Into Summer Reading” Twitter Party, Tuesday June 26th at 8pm ET! Join us and @Owlkids for an hour of tips, discussion, helpful links and prizes!  

Owlkids Books publishes entertaining and unique books and magazines for kids ages 2 to 13. With engaging writing, bold graphics, and the best children’s authors, books from Owlkids are loved by parents, teachers, librarians, and — most importantly — kids! Owlkids’ mission is to create high-quality books and magazines that nurture the potential of children and instill in them a love of reading and learning — about themselves and the world around them.

Owlkids also offers three age-appropriate magazines for kids — Chirp, ChickaDEE and Owl — that combines reading with stories, puzzles, science and issues that really matter to kids to engage them and get them interested in reading and exploring the world.

At the party, we’ll be chatting about reading together, tips for encouraging reading over other activities such as video games, kids summer reading lists and more! Prizes to be given away at the party include Owlkids magazine subscriptions, activity packs and summer book packs!

Anyone who tweets this before the party will be entered to win an Owlkids assorted book pack! (Only one entry/tweet per person per day).
