Motivating your child

1 Set aside time each night to read with them or to them.
2 Spend an afternoon on the weekend at the public library choosing books for the MS Read-A-Thon.
3 Post their MS Read-A-Thon booklist on the fridge and check in with them frequently on their progress.
4 Set a great example – show your enthusiasm for books and make reading time fun.
5 Set up some family reading time in place of an hour of television during which the whole family reads.
6 Set a reading goal with your child and continue encouraging them to reach it.
7 Find out what your child's reading interests are and help them find related books.
8 Once your child has read a book, talk to them about why they liked/disliked it. Start your own book club!
9 Encourage your child to “buddy-up” with a sibling or friend and read with or to them. This is great for younger children who may need more help with their reading.
10 Sponsor your child. Even a small pledge will boost their confidence and encourage them to work towards their reading goal.
