Rare is the child who doesn’t love music. He or she may have already found the liner notes in the CDs, but encourage them to read along as they listen to songs. Also, your child can search for lyrics online and sometimes learn about the songwriter’s stories behind the songs.
Hope you are having a great break and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!

Magazines for kids or preteens might seem fluffy, but if they keep your kids reading, the benefits might make up for the lack of heavy hitting content. Kids can often identify with the tone and subject matter of magazines, and the articles hold their attention.
Have a wonderful Christmas Break and stay safe! See you in January.
Don’t forget that tomorrow is a half day!
Give books as gifts this year. What a great way to encourage reading over Christmas Break!!
Limit your children’s TV viewing in an effort to make time for other activities, such as reading. Never use TV as a reward for reading, or a punishment for not reading.
Not all reading takes place between the covers of a book. What about menus, road signs, food labels, and sheet music? Take advantage of countless spur-of-the-moment opportunities for reading during the course of your family’s busy day.
