When I created this blog, I designed it to use as a resource for parents and educators. It only consisted of tips for helping children at home with literacy-related activities. Many parents have asked me what they can do to help their child(ren) at home with their reading. I, along with some ideas from fellow educators, have come up with many ways and resources for just that. For the educators, I have added tips and resources for those teachers who struggle with coming up with ideas to share with parents. But as time went on, it has evolved into my personal thoughts on more than just reading...

Who wants to play?

A good idea that I actually came across in a textbook of mine suggested setting aside one night per week for Family Game Night.  This isn't exactly structured reading, but playing games that require each player to read is a good idea.  Games such as Pictionary, Scrabble, and even Monopoly require the player to read or follow directions to advance.  Any game that involves reading will do because reading can be anywhere!  Order a pizza, make some popcorn, and dive into fun family games.  You will not be sorry.  Even a teenager could be pleasantly surprised at the fun he/she will have with the family!
