Looking for some ways to encourage your child to read this summer? Here are some ways you can encourage your child to read and make it a family event.
1. There are some great movies coming out this year based on books. Read the book together or separately than have a family movie night. It can be a lot of fun to create a theme around the night including foods and snacks that relate to the movie.2. Read a book set in the mid-Atlantic Region and then try visit places mentioned in the book. Here is a list of books set in the the Mid Atlantic
3. Pick a historical place to read about then go visit the place. Many of the historical landmarks around Maryland have both fiction and nonfiction books that tell their story. You could also do this about any location you may visit on vacation.
4. Listen to audio books while in the car. Many libraries offer both CD versions of books as well as downloads for MP3 players.
5. Model reading. Set aside some family time to read. Rainy summer days or slow summer mornings are great times to turn off the electronics and sit together and read.
