Tips to Make Reading Fun
This list is for both young and old. I love reading and want
everyone
to love it as well. So I hope you will find at
least one thing helpful in
this list and that it will
inspire you to come up with some of your own.
1. Visit the public library if you can't get to the library
you can
also find some of the great authors works online.
Just do a search online
for "public domain books"
2. Keep a basket of books in an accessible
place for
everyone in the family. Put a variety of books in that the
various members in your family will enjoy.
3. Make your own library.
Keep your eye out at yard sales,
thrift stores, online auctions, etc for
books then bring
them home clean them up and put on your bookshelf. You can
even encourage your children to "check out" the books.
Simply seal a
business size envelope and then cut the
envelope in half and tape or glue
one half in the back of a
book and place an index card inside. Then the
child places
their name and the date they got the book on the card and
the card is put into an index card box. Children love
playing library.
They can even let their friends check out
books.
4.Read aloud to
your family, if you live alone read aloud to
yourself.
5.Start a
book club among your friends.
6.Do a project that goes along with the
book. This could be
a craft or a recipe.
7.Make or buy pretty
bookmarks as a special gift to your
children or yourself.
8. Simply
enjoy reading and all the places you can go
through books and all the things
you can learn.
