My guy is only 2 so we're doing the "reading with a child" challenge but I'm hoping to continue similar challenges as he gets older and reads on his own. I also really want to do one of those caterpillars or trains that go around the wall adding on each book he reads-- they look so cute!<br /><br />For myself I also signed up for multiple reading challenges this year to encourage me to take the time to read. I love to read, but during his first 2 years I found it very hard to find any time to do it. With these challenges I am getting some reading done and that's been great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574975320416233698.post-82672851980100560642011-04-03T08:14:08.493-07:002011-04-03T08:14:08.493-07:00It has worked really well for us.

We read together and then I have her read by herself and she then shares with me the story. In some cases, I have read the book and other times I have not. This summer, I think I will set up little prizes along the way to change the pace. Maybe a smencil pencil, stickers, etc. She also thinks it is fun that I am reading with her and have set a goal for myself.Sunroom Journeys!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16536705857892839683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574975320416233698.post-74029987374703852292011-04-03T07:02:32.192-07:002011-04-03T07:02:32.192-07:00This is a great idea.

This might encourage her to keep looking for new books to read...something for me to think about...The Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129815174861478639noreply@blogger.com
