Week 5: What is your reading story?

What is your reading story? Do you remember when you learned to read? Did you have a favorite book or genre? Did you grow up as a bookworm or learn to love reading when you were older?

Today I challenge you to share your reading journey with your child. Then talk about theirs so far. Try to figure out if reading is something they are loving or something they feel school has made less fun. Ask them questions! When did reading get easier for them? What is challenging about reading?

It is important for kids to start to view their relationship to reading as something that ebbs and flows and then ultimately as something they have control over.
