Growing up I was always reading books, and I even had to promise my mom I wouldn’t read for fun during the school semester while at University.
Not all the kids in our family had the same love for reading. Some kids were happily entertained with reading a good book while others were… not so much. In fact, I saved many series of books I read as a child in the hopes that my children would enjoy them too.
While my boys do enjoy a great book, they sometimes need a bit of encouragement to get started.
One of my boys can often be found reading on his own, but tends to need some encouragement to try a more “meaty” book. By meaty I mean a book that takes longer than an hour to read or has more text than images on each individual page.
Rather than a book list with specific titles to read, I chose to list different types of books to try and different activities to do with reading.
READING CHALLENGES SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES:
- A book with a red cover
- A non-fiction book
- A fairytale
- A book recommended by a friend
- A Book published this year
- An award winning book
- A book published the year you were born

Printing Tips and Essentials
- I use this basic printer for all of my printing needs.
- HP Instant Ink is my favorite way to save money on ink. Never run out of ink again!
- This scotch termal laminator is what I have, it works great.
- If printing a large quantity, send the file to a local printer!
- I recommend printing onto cardstock over standard printer paper. It always looks and feels nicer.
