Motivating Kids to Read During the Summer

Get your kids reading this summer!  As a teacher, mom, and book nerd, I’m always reading something – for me or for someone slightly younger.  Click here for my book recommendations by age and topic. j0400737 150x150 Motivating Kids to Read During the Summer

1. My favorite “get your child to read trick” is (drum roll please . . . ) let them read in bed. Make it easy and fun by giving them a headlamp!   Even my four year old “reads” in bed.

2. Sign your kids up for your library’s Summer Reading Programs. They’ll earn prizes and a free book! Barnes and Noble has a summer reading program.

Reading builds brain cells, develops imagination and gives kids an activity. (Subsequently giving tired parents a break. . .)  It’s win-win.

Remember The Rights of a Reader apply to kids, too!

If you need some grown-up book suggestions for yourself – email me or friend me on Goodreads.  (Told you I was a book nerd.)
