We are being challenged to come up with a list of ways to encourage kids to read.
If you have been around The Nirvana for any length of time, you know that I have been trying out a few of my own this summer:
- Bribery
- Scheduling reading time
- Threats
(not really me)
Oh, did I NOT mention the threats?
I usually dwell on happier things, so it probably didn’t get much blog attention. But threats have been part of my summer reading master plan.
The truth is that all the things above can MAKE my kids read which I hope in time fosters the LOVE of reading that I so desperately want for them.
Because when they WANT to read and sneak a book at bedtime, I think it is a beautiful thing…

I take my daughters to story time at the library and to the book store.

During the school year, my daughter has to earn computer or tv time. For every half hour that she reads, she can have a half hour of computer/tv time. This works out really well and encourages her to get her reading done.

Hi Holly,

Thanks again for the Vtech V.reader.

Read everything- magazines, comics, newspapers- anything. A subscription to a kids magazine s also fun.

Make time to read everyday- bedtime is usually best but anytime is a good time for reading.
