    Ways to Encourage Summer Reading

    Looking for ways to encourage summer reading in your house? Don’t stress. Break it down into 3 easy steps: Great Books, Neat Places to Read and Rewards. Now I can’t guarantee that your child will come screaming with delight at the idea of sitting down and reading a book right away (if ever). But if you lay the groundwork by having fantastic books available, a cozy spot to curl up and the potential for a reward, you’ll be setting both you and your child up for success.

    Look for these great books at your local library or bookstore:

    Rewards can be as simple as a hug, a sticker, computer time, or whatever interests your child. How you handle rewards is up to you. I like a little mystery. I think the anticipation of the unknown is a powerful tool. Check out this easy to make rewards card:
