I was JUST thinking of some kind of screen time exchange. Also, I hadn't thought of offering non-fiction: a good reminder, especially since the kid in question is a tinkerer.<br /><br />@Kerri: OK, that got me. Wisdom from MaryJo. Thank you.<br /><br />@Kristin: Thank you! Very helpful. I think reading aloud with him will be a great strategy. Enjoyable for me too!And I'll Raise You 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807118403081664721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839765973714522260.post-38000042513838973262010-10-27T09:16:29.123-07:002010-10-27T09:16:29.123-07:00I hope this helps:

She said something along the lines of not enforcing reading and reading calendars because if they haven't learned to love to read by now, they are just passionate about other things (art, math, science, sports, etc.) and she didn't feel the need to keep force it anymore, let them be great at what they do like. I don't know, it kind of stuck with me. One of my kids reads a book a day, one of them a book a month. they were both raised the same, had the same teachers, same bookcase at home. I just figure, she just not a reader...but she is very passionate about art. So I get her books to read on artsy crafts and things like that..visual books that help her passion. seems to work for now.Kerrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839765973714522260.post-23347852773714914322010-10-26T17:20:08.455-07:002010-10-26T17:20:08.455-07:00Don't be above bribes.

You can measure it in pages, also. It doesn't have to be screen time - use whatever motivates them. Chocolate, nickels, whatever! And make sure you have some interesting books for the child to read. Some children hate fiction and prefer books about things - airplanes, volcanoes, whatever. Other kids (like my oldest 2) hated non-fiction. I just made sure I had a lot of historical fiction on hand so they might ingest some facts with their reading.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839765973714522260.post-10750201805770406212010-10-26T15:18:32.459-07:002010-10-26T15:18:32.459-07:00I'm not a home schooler, I know.

Do you guys read books--rather than the paper, magazines, computer--in front of the kids?Homemaker Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184158557108064422noreply@blogger.com
