James went back to school over a month ago and this year his class has a reading journal where he has to read so many books each month. This task is hard sometimes because keeping kids interested in reading is always a challenge when they feel like they HAVE to do it. There are some great tricks we use that might help you:
- Establish a family reading hour. Set a time after school and on weekends when everyone in the family devotes an hour to reading.
- Create a reading nook or out-of-the-way special place where your child can read without being disturbed.
- Use the Internet to promote interactive learning. Children reading online develop critical thinking and research skills. Start a web search for favorite book titles or authors. Conduct a search for your child’s top music videos.

Its a good strategy to make the kids comfortable first before we let them make some activities. I usually do this to my niece, she is always running around and it’s very difficult for me to make her read her books. So I always start it with a story telling to make her comfortable.
it is so hard to make your children do their activities,I will try this tricks to my niece hope it will work to them.
