Set aside time each night to read with them or to them. |
 |
Spend an afternoon on the weekend at the public library choosing books
for the MS Read-A-Thon. |
 |
Post their MS Read-A-Thon booklist on the fridge and check in with them
frequently on their progress. |
 |
Set a great example – show your enthusiasm for books and make reading
time fun. |
 |
Set up some family reading time in place of an hour of television during
which the whole family reads. |
 |
Set a reading goal with your child and continue encouraging them to reach
it. |
 |
Find out what your child's reading interests are and help them find
related books. |
 |
Once your child has read a book, talk to them about why they liked/disliked
it. Start your own book club! |
 |
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. |
 |
Sponsor your child. Even a small pledge will boost their confidence and
encourage them to work towards their reading goal. |
