Books, Books, Books - One

So, I feel like everyone agrees that getting kids to read, and to love reading, is a valued goal. So, I am going to do occasional reading ideas - you know - something to augment what you already do with your books. Something to get excited about, one at a time. Here's the first...

Use your books as backdrops - literally prop open the book. And then use the little people or dolls or puppets and have them act in front of the book. So, if your little people can visit to the dump if you are reading I Stink or pretend to borrow earrings to wear from Fancy Nancy. Sometimes a book is most fun when it doesn't even feel like a book - its better, because its a place!
