Thanks Ryan! I love the quote, “if you don’t enjoy reading, you are doing it wrong”.

I have such great memories of reading as a child! Love this!

This is great! Seems like a small challenge that will get kids reading.

I think number 22 is a good idea! Get the kids in a habit of reading the book before the movie. Then everyone can discuss the differences, what they liked, etc!
05/31/2017 @ 10:07 pm
Yes, agreed Jenn! I find kids love to read aloud at the end of the day, and finding a book where you can show them a movie as a class reward is so fun. With my own kids, we read during dinner and then have a family movie night. Really wonderful to bond over books!
