We started letting the boys stay up late for 30 more minutes if they’re reading last year and I’ve been pleasantly surprised that they almost always choose to read! My middle son often reads aloud to his younger brother too. We do most of these but I was so thankful for the reminder that not all children progress in reading as they should and to just focus on fostering a love of reading. I know this and I spout this often but lately I’ve been stressing that my 8 year old seems to be stagnating and I just wan to see him moving on to early chapter books.

That’s the problem with books. There are more wonderful books than there are rooms in the house! I love your idea of keeping bags by the reading corner of books that haven’t been read. That’s a wonderful suggestion! 🙂

Love the tips you give to keep them wanting to read. I wanted to let you know that I am going to share this with as part of my Feb book round-up Thanks!

We do the library bit usually every thursday, It’s usually an hour or more, each child picks a fiction and a non fiction book of their choice. Often one picture book or bridging fiction that my kids love so much and one thats at or above reading level. Thats not even including the books I get 🙂 Ya we go through a few. We then have two bags one by the reading corner of books not read yet and a different one by the door of books that we’ve finished and are ready to go back.
