My grand-children are 6 and 9 years of age with one in first grade and the other in third grade. They are both striving to read more and more and doing great. It is our job as parents to promote them and get them to read more and more. You can do this in many different ways. One of the first is by example. Children often mimic our own actions if we demonstrate to them that we read then they will strive to read as well.
Prepare them a great treat to help them feel special while reading. Gummy worms in a baggy with a book worm attached will do just this. After all you do know what a book worm is.
I grew up hating reading. It was something that as a child, I found boring. I was really blessed when my oldest daughter come along, she has always loved to read. It's something that I have had to instill in my youngest daughter by setting the example and reading with her.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Reading was always my favorite thing to do as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI'm a teacher so I really advocate for reading. I love reading with my baby son.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading to my Son since he was born. He has grown up with an appreciation for books. We like to go to the Library once a week to get a new book.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Give them treats so that they will be more motivated to read. Reading should always be instilled on young kids’ minds.
ReplyDeleteI like the Parent's t of the Parent's Reader illustration and definitions. It is so on point. It's show the qualities a parent should have to be able to keep their child learning and motivated and become good book reader when he or she grows older.
ReplyDeleteIt is so important that we are reading with our children daily! I have been reading to my kids since they were born and I believe it has helped them to love reading!
ReplyDeleteI agree with it.. trading should be insisted on kids for their development..
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I are both huge bookworms! You should see our ever-growing collection!
ReplyDeleteI would have never though of using gummy worms while reading. But I think you are right. My daughter would have appreciated them.
ReplyDeleteI have loved to read for as long as I can remember, and I've been reading books to my boys since they were born. They definitely enjoy spending time reading construction themed stories!

Reading is so important. I enjoy choosing fun stories to read with them.
ReplyDeleteWe read to our toddler daughter every day. She likes this time with us so much. I love to cuddle and read to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea to attach the gummy worm with a little book worm to get them motivated! I would read the whole library if I could get this kind of treat for finishing a book!
