This photo post is a round up of some ways to help kids sustain a love of reading.
Even the most avid of readers, young and old need a little outside help to keep reading. After all, digital distractions are aplenty and it's cooler to be on Roblox or social media than with your nose in books, right?
Here is a roundup of ways I am encouraging my kids:
Props
Make books come alive with props.
Accessories
Self explanatory!
Voice
Reading Aloud with your best Voice overs- I personally have different voices to make it "Fun"
Stacks and Choice
Sometimes it is simply a matter of giving choices between books. I know not really a choice after all, especially if you sneak in options that make it Hobson's choice. But like I remind my tween, you don't get choices in advertisements when watching YouTube, so... <insert smirk from me and rolling eyeballs from said child>
Music
Movies and Web Series
Sometimes the thrill of knowing you can watch the media version makes it easier to read the books. What can I say? Ends justify the means when it comes to reading in my world.
Ownership
When kids choose and buy books all by their sweet selves, they are eager to dive into their prized possessions. For a budget friendly version, enrolling in library reading challenges might score you a book as well.
Ditch Google
Sometimes it is better to ditch Google and learn the old fashioned way- from a book. This takes support and supervision but is so worth it. 
How about you? What tricks do you have up your sleeve to motivate kids to read, read, read and read some more!
