Book Chain
Scribbit's Winter Bazaar

When my daughter was learning to read, we started a book chain. Every time she read a book we added a link. She was so excited to see her chain grow. It eventually went around her room. She was always so proud.
Colton is starting to read books, so we started his book chain today. He too was excited to add his links. I thought I would share this, maybe it will encourage you little ones to read.
I am always looking for ways to encourage my kids to read, do you have any tips that you use? If so please let me know.

Other reading markers we've done are train tracks (a new track goes across for each book and the engine gets to move along as you read), putting paper flower heads on dowel stems in a vase, etc. The kids love it so much that they ask to read often.
I might borrow this as well, someday!

One way I've gotten my kids to read is to start reading a book I know they'll love out loud to them but for only a couple of pages. They want to read more so they pick it up and read the rest themselves.
