The BOOK IT! Program was established over 25 years ago to help motivate children to read more. Your role in this mission to instill a love of reading in every child is the most critical one. Regularly reading aloud, encouraging independent reading and being seen enjoying reading yourself, are all effective ways to make reading a priority and a habit in your home. My challenge to you is to spend just 20 minutes each day focusing on raising a reader.
The only way to get better at reading is to do it! Support the literacy skills being taught at school by making reading a priority at home. The teacher will love you and your child will love reading!
So many books! For every budding artist or wanna-be-president out there, there is a book (or ten or twenty!) to nourish those early interests and further whet your young child’s reading appetite. Sorted by category and supported with a short summary and age level, every title listed is worth a read. We’ve only just begun to build our book nook so bookmark this as a favorite!
