Catch Them Reading
Reading and Literacy Tips October 24th, 2007
Do you have tons of photographs of your kids? I do. My harddisk has a folder full of them. AND I’ve also burned some earlier ones onto a CD. As parents, we try to capture our kid’s important moments like first day at home, first smile, first step, first time eating solids, first time at school, first time in the pool etc…. We snap away at basically anything we deem important enough to deposit into our memory banks. Our children soon learn that mommy and daddy takes pictures of things or events that they feel are important.
So what do you think happens if you start taking pictures of them reading?
Lately, I’ve tried to catch my children reading. Hopefully, this simple act of mine conveys to them the message that reading is important. Important enough that mommy wants to keep it as a record. And that will encourage them further to want to read.
How about you try to catch your child reading this week? Tell me when you’ve got the picture posted.

Dear Ai Lian, I came across your website on Facebook & I’m glad I did! I think your online store is fantastic and I can’t wait to order some books from you. I have a 3 and a half year old son and I read to him all the time. Like many mums out there, I’m slowly building him a home library too. Keep up the good work! I’ll be sure to help promote your website to friends and on my blogs
