Boys Make the Choice with Interactive Stories
You watch the boy, bored, pretending to read, sneaking glances at the clock. You know that reading could be a great experience for him.
If you want to get him to enjoy reading, turn to page...
Choose Your Own Adventure books, which were at their height of popularity in the 80s, are interactive stories that allow the reader to direct events throughout the book. No, I'm not taking another trip down memory lane. I knew of these books, but I didn't read them when I was young (I was seriously focused on the Babysitter's Club at the time). So when a friend of mine was recently re-captivated by Choose Your Own Adventure books, and he spent weeks reading through every last story again, I had to know what the fuss was about.
Teaching Our Children To Love Reading
Teaching Our Children To Love Reading
When I was a child my parents would say to me all the time how important reading was. I was one of those lucky kids that while my parents both worked full time they always took the time to sit with us and read and help with homework. My mother was in nursing school at the time and working to pay for her education. My dad worked full time in another state so his hours were also very long. But that never kept them from making sure us three kids were getting the education and help at home that we needed. I will forever be thankful for this.
I now have children of my own and teach them the importance of reading. From reading daily with them to being there to get through the homework. All are great students and I cherish this time as I know it will not last long.
