Easy Ways to Raise Readers!


Nothing revolutionary here...just simple stuff!

Surround yourself with reading material

Read for leisure (yes, the idea is for the kids to see you enjoying reading to yourself, as well as to them!)

Bring something to read wherever you go (this is why, when my family goes to one of these great events, I prefer BART—we can grab the book we’re reading together, & knock off several chapters!)
