5 Ways to Make Time for Reading
1. Read over breakfast for just 10 minutes!
2. Match books to activities-sports, camp, summer trips & hobbies.
3. Always carry a book so that waiting at appointments can be filled with good reads!
4. Have a family reading time by setting aside 20 minutes so the whole family can read. Parents can set a good example by reading a variety of books, magazines or newspapers.
5. Set reading goals for each child-they will be amazed at how fast they reach them by the middle of the year. Celebrate their successes!
