Make Sure “Reading Week” is Fun!
Ideas to help your child maximize the reading time at home:
- Have a “Turn Off the TV” day and use the extra hours to read.
- Have a “Family Reading Day” and spend a concentrated amount of time reading together. Children can count minutes being read to as part of their reading time.
- Have “Pizza & a Book” night. Order pizza and spend the time you would normally spend cooking dinner reading with your child.
- Have a reading play date. Invite Longfellow classmates and friends for a reading date. Turn it into a party!
- Be a good role model. Challenge your child to read more minutes than you do, and then make it tough by reading a lot yourself.
- Play games that require reading, like Scrabble, bingo, Scattergories, Cranium, etc.
