One thing I hope my children remember once they’ve grown up and left the house is the time we spent snuggling together on the couch or in bed, reading.
Here are some great ways to make those memories!

All reading is good, but reading on paper is linked to vastly superior achievement outcomes.

Books that reflect children’s lives invite children in: they send a message that books and reading are for them. This is an important entry ramp to literacy and education in general.

Fostering kids’ interest in words encourages a lifelong habit of noticing new ones and retaining them. Whether it’s a tart apple or a mischievous face, commenting on interesting words or sharing just the right word for something is powerful modeling.

How to encourage your older child to read? Read to them! We sometimes forget that older kids still need us to read to them. Research shows that reading aloud to kids is the best way to improve their literacy -- and it motivates them to read.
