Kids Reading to Kids


At LJW Publishing we think a lot of problems could be avoided in life if we could only instill a love and a talent for reading in every child. And we're not one to throw out advice without some pragmatic thought of our own. So here's an idea we support that we're willing to share: kids reading to kids! It's a great way to build confidence and it's also a great learning tool. Work it into your kids' bedtime schedule. They'll most likely work with you at this point because if we know kids, they'll do anything to stay up just a few more minutes. Have them each read a book to the others and then read one to them yourself. It's a wonderful way to teach by example and provide them with an example that is at or near their same reading level.
