The holiday season is quickly approaching once again. This is the time of year where you hear your child say "I want that" about 100 times a day. The hot toy of the year, the toy they did not get last year or the one that their friends must have. You will be bombarded by ideas from your child. How many of these toys will your child play with after the first week after Christmas has past. If they are anything like my kids, may be one toy they will still play with. Then they resort back to playing with the toys that they already had. By getting them some kids books they can use time after time. Sure after a couple of days or a week they will forget all about the book. This is when you just file it away on the book shelf and after a few months pass they notice the book once again. What a great feeling it is to see your children entertaining themselves by reading.

The holiday season is rapidly upon us. Do you have a plan as to what your children will read during this season? Do they read holiday books or continue with their regular schedule of reading. It is a great change of pace for them to read books for the holiday season. It gives them a break from their regular routine of reading and gives them the oppurtunity to read different types of kids books. They will enjoy the change and once the holiday season has past, they will be more motivated when they switch back to their regular routine of reading. Plus, it gives you as a parent the chance to share your favorite holiday books with your child.

Do you have a child that struggles with comprehending what they read? Many kids have trouble remembering what they read. This is most true when they are just beginning to learn to read. It is just temporary so there is little need to be overly concerned. What happens is when they begin to read they are focusing only on reading the words and not comprehension. This causes their reading to be choppy like a robot would talk. The cure for this is to just keep practicing on their reading. With the practice their words will become more smooth and comprehension will soon follow. Take turns reading pages with your child. This will give them a good sense of how their reading should flow. Keep praising them for all their hard work and stick with it.

Does your child read books that are at their reading level? If they are then you may need to rethink your strategy. They should be reading at three different levels on a consistant basis. Your child should read one book below their reading level. The purpose of this is to build their self-confidence and tone the skills that they already have. Then they should move to books at their reading level. This will help them in their development in becoming life-time readers. Next is reading books above their level. This will challenge them and give them a goal to work towards. While they will find it difficult to read, their minds need to be challenged periodically. Always give praise to your child for their hard work and effort.

Do you read to your children? Do they read to you? This is a great way to get them motivated to read. When you sit down to read them a book, let them take a turn reading to you. A way you could do this is for you to read one page and then let them read a page. Do this throughout the entire book. It will give them a sense of accomplishment and increase their self-esteem and confidence. If you have a child that is too young to read have them tell you what is happening by looking at the pictures on the page without you reading the page first. This will help develop their communication skills by association. Another thing that you can do is after reading the book have them retell the story in their own words. If they have difficulty with this at first keep encouraging them and with time they will be able to recite the story to you. Remember to check out our back-to-school sale going on right now for a limited time. Every childrens book on the site is on sale.

Summer is a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Especially if you live in an area that actually has seasons. Those who live in places that have winter, welcome the outdoors as much as we welcome a juicy steak. During the summer months your child should still read, but it needs to be fun for them. They need to be able to enjoy the books they are reading. While some kids are harder to get motivated to read than others, for the most part once they sit down and start reading, they will enjoy it very much. Just a quick update on the comic book category of the website. It is nearing completion and will be launched to the public on Thursday, June 17, 2010. Come and checkout our great selections.

Well, summer is now upon us and school has let out for the year. How much will your child read each week? Will your child read this summer or is it a time to rest the brain? We certainly don't want to rest, as this will cause your child lose what they learned during the school year. Your child needs to stay sharp by reading. You do not want your child to spend the beginning of the next school year catching up with the others who read in the summer. You don't need to go crazy on reading, but your child should a minimum of 20 minutes per day. That is only 2 hours per week. It is fine to take a day or 2 off during the week. Just be sure that taking days off does not become a habit. In conclusion, we would just like to give a quick update that we reported last week. The comic books category is still under construction, but should be completed by the end of the month. Stay tuned for more updates as they become pertanent.

It is just about summer time. This is a time for relaxing and enjoying the good weather. It is also a time to soak up some good reading. Don't let the summer slip by without reading a few good books. Most local libraries have a reading program geared for kids. They also give out prizes to those children who spent quality time with their books. This is a great way to keep reading all summer long. The added bonus in it for you is that it is FREE!
