We\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parenting bloggers Amy Mascott<\/strong> (Teach Mama) and<strong> Allison McDonald <\/strong>(No Time for Flashcards), authors of the recently released <strong><em>Raising a Rock-Star Reader<\/em><\/strong><em>, <\/em>have provided some great games and activities to keep kids engaged \u2013 all while building their literacy skills \u2013 during the long plane, train or car ride this holiday season. Not traveling? We even have a few tips to keep kids entertained during the \u201cstaycation\u201d weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some additional tips Amy and Allison shared with our readers last week to keep kids &#8220;reading ready&#8221; while traveling this holiday season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, don&#8217;t forget to let kids play and entertain themselves. Every moment doesn\u2019t have to be, and shouldn\u2019t be, structured or educational. Play is educational. That said there are so many fun ways to slip reading in by what you pack and do yourself on the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pack books with you<\/strong>. Picture books in a carry-on or maybe an e-reader filled with a series are waiting to be devoured. If you don\u2019t pack it they can\u2019t read it, so make room for books in your bag!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listen to an audiobook on a road trip<\/strong>. This is a fun way to \u201cread\u201d a book together as a family.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan ahead and read a book that has been made into a film<\/strong> before your trip and watch it on the trip. After you are done watching, don&#8217;t forget to compare the book to the film adaptation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Read yourself<\/strong>. Being a reading role model is not optional, it\u2019s something we as parents must do. Amy and I can\u2019t stress this enough, it\u2019s really important. You don\u2019t have to be reading War and Peace to be a good role model. Just be an example of someone who reads for fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published by On Our Minds on November 19, 2015Versioned for Scholastic Canada
