I’m Batman… No, I’m Batman… No, I’m Batman… No, I’m Batman…
My boys have been saying that to each other around the house for the past few days. I think they do it to get on my nerves more so than to try and “top” one another with that deep Batman voice! My nine-year-old is excited about the release, so we have a date this weekend to see the new LEGO Batman Movie. Are your kids looking forward to seeing it?
Scholastic sent me several of their new LEGO Batman Movie Books and two yet-to-be-released titles! My son was excited about the Junior Novel; he loves to read books to accompany movies. He does need to finish it if he wants to see the film this weekend, though. That will give him a bit of motivation to get it finished! How do you motivate your kids to read more?

As your children grow, introduce them to books that match their interests and hobbies. Encourage them to find new books on their own to read – something they would enjoy. Make the story interesting by throwing in some adventure.
My tip for getting a child who doesn’t like to read, to pick up a book is to take them to the library and pick books that they are interested in. They are more likely to want to read if the books deals with a certain character or theme they are interested in.
I like to make it fun for my kids to read so we go to the Library and pick out books every week. The kids love getting different books especially my son who is learning to read now!!
My idea to make it a fun activity to read was to let my Grand son pick out the book that we wanted to read,to make him feel that he was in charge! Of course most of the time it was the same one,but we were still reading something!!
My tip is to take them to the library and let them pick books that would be of interest to them. They might be more excited about reading.
It really helped me to get my boy into reading when I found things that he liked to actually read including the ninjago series from Scholastic. Our summer our library off of the summer reading program with incentives so it got us into the habit of reading each night for 15 minutes or more!
I like to make it fun to read for my son and daughter. Every Saturday we go to the library and everyone picks out 2 books. After we go to get ice cream. They look forward to going each week and finding new books to read and share with each other.
We try to make reading fun. We add in voices to the characters.
My best tip on how to get a child who doesn’t like to read, to pick up a book is to have books available to them that have topics they would enjoy reading about.
Both of my kids like to read, so I don’t know how to get a reluctant reader to read. We have always been a reading family, so I think that has something to do with that.
We go to the library and he picks out books that he wants to read. We also make it a game sometimes and see how much he can read in a certain amount of time.
Incorporate music with reading!
I suggest offering a large variety of books (including graphic novels, visual guides, etc.) covering topics that interest the child. Sometimes a child who “doesn’t like to read” will pick up a comic book when nothing else looks good!
I try to find books I feel would grab his attention, books about stuff he is in to. I also have do no devices time so that helps him pick up a book when he is bored.
When a kid doesn’t want to read, books featuring their favorite characters really do work! I started my family reading with the kiddie books put out for “The Dark Knight Rises.” Now he reads chapter books like Jedi Academy.
I say lead by example. Try and find books to read with your kids :]
My best parenting tip is to start reading to them at birth and always read the author’s and illustrator’s names. My daughters could recognize illustrators at a very young age.
I try to buy books that my kids are interested in to help them want to read. I also set aside 30 minutes were we just read together everyday.
