Encourage kids to create the reading.

Encourage kids to create the reading. Set up a writing and art center and encourage kids to make books, posters, or collages that they decorate with their own pictures and writing. Kids love to read things they've written themselves or to share their creations with family and friends.

Tips on Reading With Children!

• Do make the time spent reading together enjoyable for both of you.
• Do read to your child at least once a day. (More if you can manage it!)

• Don't continue reading when your child loses interest.
• Don't go overboard with questioning. A discussion at home should not be a test.
