Unplugging our kids from the latest electronic gadget and encouraging them to read for pleasure sure is difficult! Sometimes we have to set the example and be creative to get our children interested in books.
Our school participates in PARP every year, which is the PTA-sponsored Parents As Reading Partners program. Each year the PARP committee gets more and more creative with their themes and prizes for kids who read 15 minutes everyday with a partner.
Even if you don’t have a PTA at your school, a group of dedicated parents can certainly form a similar program. Listen in for details and more creative ideas!
