ReplyDeleteWe have books everywhere and I am always reading something. My children (5 & 3) love to read to themselves and to each other. We've never done anything particular to promote reading other than provide plenty of books, magazines, etc and to read in front of them and with them. :)
I am a subscriber mnsteph[at]gamiil[dot]com. I get my family to read by having lots of fun books based on their favorite movies lying around within easy reach. My kids love to read so if we watch a movie like Toy Story, the next thing we do is pick up a book about it. A big thing is I keep all their books within reach of their short arms. They help themselves.

ReplyDeleteWe do story time right before bed. My son loves to pickout the book and he's gotten to the age now he picks one he knows and he'll read to us! He also enjoys picking out new books at the library to read together at bedtime.

ReplyDeleteWe set aside a time to visit the library each week...it's easy because I'm a librarian at the library! I love watching my kids enjoy their books and I can see their imaginations growing. We also read books to the kids after bath time. My 10 year old is old enough to read on his own...but nothing makes my heart swell more than his little sister curled up in his lap while he's reading a princess story to her. It's adorable!
Books take you places!

ReplyDeletetvollowitz at aol dot com
We each choose a new book from the library (one we haven't read before, usually, though we do have some faves!) then we cuddle up in my bed at night and take turns reading to each other. Sometimes, we have such a fun night, I read all the books again in the morning after the kids have crawled back in bed with me (before my feet even hit the floor!)!

Their fav book right now is "the little mouse, the red ripe strawberry, and the big hungry bear" . I enjoy reading to my babies and I make it fun by doing voices and faces and whatever makes them enjoy the story :-)

My oldest girls (5,6) have their own library cards and they love to check out their books, which they then take home and have me read or try and read themselves.

ReplyDeleteMy family and I decided to make Tuesday night our Family reading night. To get my 2 year old really excited, we walk to the library and allow her to pick out as many books as she would like. When we get home we pull out the bean bag chair, pop popcorn and begin reading.
To help her not get too restless, we sometimes stop between stories to act out what we have just read. It helps her to stay active and encourages her to read even longer.

ReplyDeleteAlso, the tip I have for making 'wanting to read' fun is by rewarding those who actually take the time to read a story cover to last page. For instance, I tell my daughter that if she attempts to read an entire story, or at least a couple pages of the story, I will take her swimming later that day or the next day. Or I'll extend the swim time by 1/2 an hour. This little 'trick' works so well, my daughter get's really into reading, or at least reading me the story according to the pictures.

ReplyDeleteWe LOVE to read here and my 5 1/2 year old daughter has quite a few books in her collection and a cute & cozy reading spot for her to sit and go over the books. We love to go to the library and even though I swear I won't do it again, I always get enough books to throw my shoulder out of wack for a couple of days, lol. I've read to her since she was 2 months old and it's a great way to end the day. :D
Another way our family incorporates everyone into family reading 'event' is when we head out on a long drive somewhere. We pack up (Mom, Dad, & Daughter) into the SUV and grab a couple 'interesting' children's books for the trip. I will read the 1st story and PRAY I don't get car sick doing so. When I'm done with the story I give the book to my daughter and she reads the story to my husband and me...according to the pictures because she cannot read yet...she's slowly learning! I truly enjoy what her little mind 'makes up' as a story...according ONLY to the pictures. She is very creative, that's for sure!

ReplyDeletei love to have a lot of books on hand with lots of variety. I get books from the library, thrift stores and garage sales. Books are always close at hand. I like to read my son books when he wakes up in the morning or from naps because it stretches out that snuggly still tired stage.

We always have bed-time story time. Sometimes she gets one book other times two. We snuggle under the blankets get all cozy and read. It has become part of our nightly routine.
Hi I thought I entered this already. I let the child guide the reading by picking books they are interested in.

We always read to my granddaughter, and she saw people around her who loved to read. Nowadays we like to snuggle in bed, I start out reading and when it gets interesting turn it over to her. When we stop, we enjoy surmising what will happen next.

ReplyDeleteWhen my little girl was born I started reading to her everynight. As she got older she would ask me to read a book to her multiple times a day. When she began walking she would always bring me The Cat In The Hat. She loved all of the excitement I put into it. Now she's 2 1/2 and she still loves reading. She trys to read it herself, it's really cute she opens a book and starts telling a story. I'm so happy that I started reading to her when she was just days old.

I began reading to both of my children as infants, later took them to our library's children's reading hour, helped them pick out books with only pictures in them first, got them each their own library cards before they knew what a word was - they were so happy having their own library card :-), and today they love to read books.

We take our kids to the library to choose their books which usually sparks their interest in wanting to read what they got.
