Handy Tips
1. Let kids in on the benefits - Let them in on how amazingly helpful it is to read daily to achieve academic success.
2. Let them choose their own books - If they are actively involved in the choosing process they are much more likely to see their new reading book in a positive light.
3. Guide them to a book that’s a pleasure to read - Whilst the choice of book should ultimately be theirs, ensure you steer your child towards a book they can easily read by themselves within two weeks (for older readers).
4. Show an interest in their book - Encourage them to share their thoughts around the book, the main characters or the storyline.
5. Set or take part in a reading challenge - The school summer holiday is five weeks long, give them the goal of reading four books by the end of the school holiday or take part in Executive Director's Summer reading Challenge.
6. Create reading moments - Reading is a great way to wind down at the end of a busy day.
7. Always pack a book - Make sure your child’s reading book goes wherever your child goes during the school holiday.
8. Go to the library - Build a weekly trip to the library into longer school breaks.
