Keep Reading Over Spring

I hope you have a wonderful spring break.  Don't forget to keep reading during this well-deserved break! Here are some ideas to keep reading fun over break:


Making a Treat

Find a food/snack that your child likes to eat such as cookies. Together, find a recipe that your child wants to try. Have your child read the recipe to you and let your child read any text found on the ingredients. Go to your library and take out a book about cookies and read it together while you are snacking on some tasty treats!

 

Getting Down to Music

 

Help your child write the lyrics to a favorite song and then have your child read the lyrics (or sing!) while listening to the song

Book and a Movie
Rent or go to a movie that your child wants to see that is based on a book. Have your child read the book and compare the similarities and differences. Ask your child if he/she preferred the book or movie version. Another option, is to rent videos on a topic that your child is interested in and then finding books to read on a similar topic.
