There are few things more special than story time with the whole family. These four fun reading activities recommended by teachers are not only a great way to boost your child\u2019s reading skills, but they\u2019ll also instill a lifelong love for books!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1. Become Kindness Ninjas<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs a family, read How Do Dinosaurs Learn to Be Kind?<\/em><\/a>\u2014a funny picture book about dinosaurs learning the importance of empathy and compassion for others and teaching young readers that being kind is cool! Your child will learn all about being a good person, practicing good manners, and telling someone they’re special through the author and illustrator\u2019s engaging story.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter reading, encourage your child to transform into a \u201cKindness Ninja\u201d and do random\u2014and secret\u2014acts of kindness. These kind acts will help your young reader connect to the world around them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen children start making connections between the world and themselves, they start to have a deeper understanding of why characters respond the way they do, which in turn builds deeper comprehension skills,\u201d says Avery Lieske, a third-grade teacher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2. Toss Worries Away<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re looking to harness the power of social-emotional learning at home, there\u2019s no better way than to explore a book this school year. Wemberly Worried<\/em><\/a> is an ideal title to start with.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWemberly is a little mouse who worries about everything. She worries that her doll Petal doesn’t have a car seat, she worries that nobody will come to her birthday party, and she worries that too many kids will have the same costume in the Halloween parade. But most of all, Wemberly worries about starting school.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
After reading, encourage your child to draw or write about their worries on a sheet of paper. Then, while your child shares their worries, ask them to roll up the paper until it\u2019s a tiny ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cOnce the paper is in a little ball and they have gotten all of their worries out, they can throw it away,\u201d says Lieske. \u201cAnytime they have a worry they can talk it out, write it out, and throw it away.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. Magical Word Jars<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Word Collector<\/em> is ideal for deeply engaging your child and showing them just how magical words can be. You can find The Word Collector <\/em>and other Peter H. Reynolds titles about creativity in the Peter Reynolds Pack<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u201cThis book gives you and your child the opportunity to discuss shades of meaning, synonyms, antonyms, and how to speak and write with more detail and flair,\u201d says Josh Blackburn, a second-grade teacher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
After reading, Blackburn suggests helping your child create their own word jar or word journal and asking them to record any new words they discover while reading independently or with you. \u201cThen take a moment to look up the meaning of that word with your child and help them use it in their own writing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n4. Insect Adventure<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnter the world of insects with help from The Magic School Bus! There are plenty of fun facts about bees available in The Magic School Bus\u00ae: Inside a Beehive<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen The Magic School Bus turns into a beehive, Ms. Frizzle’s class learns firsthand about how workers, drones, and the queen live together. Readers will be abuzz with knowledge as they discover how honeybees find food, make honey and beeswax, and care for each other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cFor an added adventure, take your child outside and go on an insect hunt,” says Blackburn. “If you find an insect you cannot identify, there are a variety of insect identifying apps for your smartphone that will keep you and your child learning more about the insects in your environment.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
