Comments on: How to Keep Your Kids Reading with Delightful Christmas Stories https://classicallyhomeschooling.com/keep-your-kids-reading/ educating kids at the kitchen table Fri, 27 Feb 2026 05:22:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Eve West https://classicallyhomeschooling.com/keep-your-kids-reading/#comment-29618 Tue, 27 Dec 2016 15:30:07 +0000 https://classicallyhomeschooling.com/?p=16562#comment-29618 I do the same thing with my daughter for Advent! I write the titles of 26 Christmas books on a small card decorated with a Christmas sticker and place the cards in a beautiful holiday box . The books are placed in a sleigh & covered so she doesn’t know what the books are . Every year I add a few new ones and try to purchase them so we own a huge collection , I of course also go to the library very early to find the best classics before they are gone! Everyday my DD digs into the box to pick out a book not knowing which one it will be! We do these books as read alouds and she just loves it . The Velveteen Rabbit was long so we read that 1 over a couple of days so you could definitely do the same with books like a Christmas Carol & others for older kids. I use all of Memoria Press Christmas selections and the Read Aloud Revival best books list . My DD absolutely loves this and it helps me as a parent stay on track with reading to my daughter all the time which is a consistent goal of mine!

That’s a wonderful idea, Erin! Are you focusing on Christmas stories or just good books?

We are doing the same this year. It has really excited the children to open a book and then read it each day.
