Book It! Reading Activities Make it a Joy For Children

Site Summary:
From preschool forward, most teachers strongly urge parents to have their children read--or be read to--on a reading activity schedule throughout the year. The key is to always make the reading experience fun and a time to look forward to. Reading or a reading activity should never be perceived as a chore. What are things parents and child care providers alike should keep in mind to encourage reading?
We chose this site because it has fun and easy ideas to embed reading into everyday life. It highlights ways to read to your child during summer and vacations, not just during the school year.
