Making reading an integral part of your day.

It is great to be back in touch with you after my break to the US.  what an amazing time we had seeing the sights and experiencing things that are totally unique to the US. We had a ball for the whole 3 week tour taking in the highlights across 4500km - From the Hot Rod reunion at Famoso, Bakersfield, Bubba Gump's in Santa Monica (from the movie Forest Gump) and Fremont Street in Las Vegas - now that is an experience second to none!
 

It got me thinking about how hard we push ourselves—and often our kids—trying to fit in school activities, extra-curriculars, and everything else. Something has to give, and for many, following up with reading at home often gets parked because everyone’s ‘simply too tired.’

Here’s a simple suggestion: make reading a non-negotiable part of your day. Even just 5 minutes can be a big help. Try making it fun by taking turns reading sentences with your child. It’s even more enjoyable when you add funny voices or get into character—it keeps everyone laughing and makes reading a positive experience.
