5 sneaky ways I get my kids to read more —
But they’re older now and not as interested in my storytelling, no matter how many different animated voices I’m willing to use.
So now that the magic of those incentives died off, and they don’t want to hear my voice any more than they have to, what’s a mom to do? But it got me thinking. Why not put subtitles on all our TVs? And so I did. And now my kids are getting some extra reading in without even realizing it. For my kiddo with learning differences, there’s a benefit to hearing and seeing words at the same time. I have no concrete evidence that my children have jumped into higher reader groups due to closed captioning, but it can’t hurt.
Find what games are fun for your crew. The key thing to remember: It doesn’t have to be a bona fide word game to involve some extra reading. There are so many options: Life, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit. If they don’t like one, try something else.
