GROWING READERS TIP- WHEN KIDS SAY “I DON’T WANT TO”
How do we help kids feel motivated to read? Ideally, we want them to feel self-motivated to pick up a book and enjoy it. But sometimes a little extrinsic motivation can be a stepping stone to being intrinsically motivated. Here are a few ideas to motivate your child to read.
Have your child set a goal for the number of books he/she would like to read or hear. Set up a special treat for accomplishing the goal.
Let your child pick the books he/she wants to enjoy. The power of choice can be extremely motivating.
Carve out a reading time in your home where everyone is engaged with books at the same time.
TAKE AWAY: Carving out time, setting goals, and allowing choice are huge motivators to read.
