I hope that you took part in that. It was a lot of fun to do it. That is part of the reason for this challenge in April. It is to keep up that reading. I also encourage you to read at least one new book for all of you a week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My thoughts on reading with your kids.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always let them pick out some of the books. It encourages them to look for new things.<\/li>\n<li>Ask why they picked out that book. Find out why they choose the book. Does it have a favorite topic? Do they like the pictures or the story?<\/li>\n<li>Have everyone comfortable when reading.<\/li>\n<li>Have a reading box. In our box we keep library books and what every our current theme we are working on.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce them to new books.<\/li>\n<li>Read family favorites over and over.<\/li>\n<li>Keep track of what you have read.<\/li>\n<li>Visit to library to get new books. We try and do this weekly if we can.<\/li>\n<li>Have book around that the kids are interested in.<\/li>\n<li>Read as a family and one on one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking for ideas of books to read? Check out some of my <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/tag\/book-club\/\" target=\"blank\">Virtual Book Club and Poppins Book Nook<\/a> posts! They will have books and on the links lots of books on the various subjects and Authors. Monthly I also have a <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/tag\/book-finds\/\" target=\"blank\">Book Finds<\/a>! Check those out to see if you see a new book you would like at your house!<\/p>\n<p>This will be a fun challenge. To help with this challenge, I have made some new Theme Reading Charts.
