From your boys were babies, I 've read to them. I & # 39; m not creative and do not come up with my own stories Here are my ideas in creating a book loving environment:
First and foremost, turn OFF the TV If there 's a choice between TV and books, the child will likely passively sit in more time reading? Reading for pleasure, not just for school?
Her boys seemed like they were allergic to books which was killing her. She loves to read and wanted her kids to feel the same.
So why do my boys love books? Do your boys prefer to sit in front of the TV in a mindless fog than pick up a book to read? Have you ever tried to have a conversation with a child while they are 're staring at Here we are not happen. Here we have a lot of computer / TV time will not occur until all school work is completed, afterwards, my son gets 30 minutes of screen time where he can choose to play video games or watch TV. What about when you want to watch TV? I do not. I have show that I follow but I watch online once the kids are sleep.
Read before bed, my boys never want to go to sleep on this way, you can discuss this what you & # 39; So they keep asking to read more books. Make it a routine and it will get done.
Let them see you how much you enjoy books, read yourself.
My other son is into history and weapons, not surprisingly, so he & # 39; s been reading about the American Indians and their weapons.
Make books fun, give them as gifts or rewards for boys get so many toys from other relatives so that we always end up getting them books or educational items for Christmas and birthdays which they enjoy just as much .
They are surprised what boys come up with when they have to entertain themselves. They build forts, play with their play dough, make weapons, and build with their LEGOs. Allow them to explore their interests, that way they turn to books to find more information about that topic.
