Sometimes I read to my daughter while she’s in the bathtub or eating lunch to reinforce the fact that reading can be done anywhere and everywhere, not just at bedtime.

We gave our daughter a Tag reading system for her birthday last Saturday to encourage her to read. Let’s just say it has worked so far! She is very interested in the Tag reader and the library of books that we got with it.

This summer, I’ve incorporated reading into our daily routine. The kids are recording which books they’ve read, and once we get to a certain number, they’ll get a special treat!

We have books in lots of places I always have a book with me in my purse so we can read while waiting. I read a book to my kids everynight and so does my husband. thanks

From a very early age, we would point out words in our son’s books and ask him how they were spelled. Eventually, he learned to recognize the words and would show us when we asked him to point out and spell certain words on the various pages. Many people are impressed with his ability to spell so many words (now without looking) at the age of three.

We used flash cards with our son from the time was two-years old (he will turn four in Sept.). Before he was three he was able to recognize many words in the books that we would read to him each day.

My husband and I love to read, so it’s definitely something we want to pass on to our children. We read books all day long and then before naps and bed, we read at least three Thanks for the great giveaway!

We make it a fun experience. From the time the children were very small we always had books around. My husband worked out of the city a lot so the children and I spent evenings cuddled together in my big bed while I read to them. After they got older they read to me.
