summer reading
Vacation literary pursuits
Summer reading refers to books read during summer vacation, especially those assigned to students before the next school year or recommended by libraries to prevent learning loss.
The term also describes light, entertaining books suited to leisure time: I'm looking for some good summer reading for the beach.
Summer reading programs encourage children to read during breaks from school.
