Getting Kids Interested in Reading
By: Family First Staff
Printer Friendly Version

Looking for ideas on getting your kids interested in reading? Then make it a family activity. Here are some ideas from The National Book Foundation:

  •  Incorporate books into standard family games. For example, play charades with book titles.  

  • Have family outings to the library and have every family member check out one book. 

  • Start a family reading night in your family where you can read and discuss a book together. 

  • Kids love performing plays and drama skits for the family -- why not incorporate that into their book reading? Have them read a book, choose their favorite scene, and then recreate it for the family.

  • Simply read to your children. You will both benefit from the time spent together. And your children will benefit from stretching their imagination and learning new things.
