Reading Plans

What if your kids are older and far past this stage? Sit down with them and have a talk about what they're interested in. Sounds simple, but many parents never try this. Together devise a reading plan you both feel happy with. One individually tailored to each child. This is a practical solution for families with many siblings. This plan can be as involved or basic as suits your family. Blend a reading log with your plans and mark off the books as your child reads through them. Encourage them to keep a TBR (To Be Read) list and add book titles when they see something of interest. This is a great place for you to find gift ideas for birthdays and Christmas. A TBR list is a handy tool when they feel overwhelmed with all the books they'd like to read. Even advanced readers might find this useful.

Make plans to make readers of your children. They'll thank you for it one day.

PS. I've just had a quick search on Amazon.com and discovered the cloth book is alive and well over there. You should have no trouble locating one in any toy store either.
