Hey Math is Everywhere Readers,
Check out my post on Donna Martin’s blog on ways to get kids reading!
Tell me in the comments what you’re doing to encourage reading, or the hard times you’re having with this or the tricks I’ve shared that you’d like to try!
Happy Friday!

Love the bathtub idea! You SHOULD pat yourself on the shoulder. Wish I’d come up with that for my half-fish son. 😉 Usually, I let kiddo pick the subject matter and show him a bunch of books to choose from. When it’s his choice, it’s something he’s interested in, and he really dives in. Also, car rides. He has nothing to do, so I just place a book or two back there and he loves to read (not sure how, I’d get nauseous). Thanks for sharing these tips!

Hah thank you! I was super proud of that idea and yes! When they pick and when they have nothing else to do, it’s so wonderful! What does he like to read these days?

Well, at night I read longer books to him, so we just finished The Traveling Cat Chronicals (he wanted something with cats, and the main narrator is one), and we’re about to start on The Unteachables. His recent favorite PBs are Bethany Barton’s Trying to Love Math and Give Bees a Chance. He rereads those two over and over. So, cats…and non-fiction 🙂

For The Alycat Series, we are doing Live interactive Storytimes with our life-size Alycat mascot and Storywalks at schools! 🐾 For my own kids, we are visiting places that relate to the stories we read—dessert-themed book = dessert place
