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. Vist 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.
