• Don’t just tell your child to read – let him or her see you reading! This will encourage them to read for themselves or have you read to them.
• Get your child a magazine subscription to a hobby that they love (even comic books).
• If your child sees a movie that they really like, go to the bookstore and find a book about it.
• Play detective! Ask your child to help you find out something you need to know, such as a vacation site or consumer information.
• Write a book together.
• Suggest your child read something aloud to you while you fix dinner or fold clothes.
• To keep your children reading throughout the summer, keep print materials scattered throughout the house.
