Free Comic Book Day is Saturday!

I'm a firm believer that sometimes it's the material that keeps a child from getting the reading bug and becoming a better reader.  This is why I support Free Comic Book Day, which is tomorrow, May 7th.

Take your child to your nearest comic book store (or if you don't have one, many bookstores sell comic books), and give them something to read!

Tricks to Get Them to Read

My kids love to read. Bless 'em.  But when I make games out of it, they go out for blood to "be the winner".

One way to keep the competition going is to have boys vs girls.  Read a page, read the next page.  Read a sentence, read the next sentence. 

Give them a page number and sentence number (Ex: page four, sentence two!), and see who can start reading it correctly first.

Say or spell a word.  See who can find it first in the book.

Throw a question at them.  See if they can find the answer in the book.

And on Fridays, just for something different, read it backwards!
