Our Winner is #19 - Heather Ransom
If you have visited my site in the past, then you know that I love coming up with creative ways to promote learning. If you have not already taken the V.Reader Summer Reading Pledge, it is not too late to do so. Summer is only half over and there is still plenty of summer reading fun to be had.
One of the things that the new VTech V.Reader has shown us is that reading is not limited to traditional books. There are many other ways for a child to develop reading skills. I have a list of several activities I do with my 6 year old during the summer that only take a few minutes each.
In the following video, my son Jake tells you about a few of the simplest activities we do together that do not require a lot of time or creativity on your part . . .
(Turn your volume up because the little guy has a soft voice . . . well, on camera anyways.)
My list of tips to encourage children to read:
- Word Searches
- Filling out and reading Mad Libs together
- Unscrambling Sentences
- Family Reading Night
- Letting older siblings read the story at bedtime
Now it's your turn to share your tips! The best tips will be featured on VTech's “The Ultimate Tip List for Encouraging Our Kids To Read.”
