We have been challenged this week. The challenge is to think of creative ways to create, a Family Reading Night – a special family event where everyone in the family will gather to spend some quality time reading, and where young kids can read animated stories with their V.Reader (if you have one and if not you can enter to win one below!)
Here is my idea for my Family Reading Night. I know that one of my son’s favorite times to read is when his Nana set up the tent in her backyard and they get in and read. So I thought we could create a Summer Reading Fort once a week and we could cook up his favorite meal (chili dogs in a bowl) then we could eat up our food in the tent as a family and then read with flashlights. I remember when I was a kid reading by flashlight made it so much more exciting!
What do you think food, a fort, and flashlight reading, do you think that would be a good time?

I have a V.Reader and a game to go with it to giveaway to one of my lovely readers.

My name is Sara, I am a wife, a mom to 2 jokers also known as my little boys (a 5 year and 2yr old!), and a Special Education High School teacher...not sure I have room for anything else but I sure can try!
We don’t have one yet, but I’m thinking of creating a theme night each week where we read all about dogs, or horses or cupcakes, etc…
we have a family reading club simalar to what they do at the libary.the kids get small prizes for reading a certain number of books and after the family reads so many we go on a family outing.
Right now I read to my daughter every night before bed (she’s only 2) but when she gets older I plan on doing a reward program with her when she finishes a new book

I dont have a family reading night but I love the idea I am going to start doing one by 5 books read we get a small prize and plus we will set a night and do popcorn or the following week do sundaes

Instead of doing a popcorn and movie night, we do a popcorn and reading night. We snuggle up with blankets and read while eating popcorn!
Every night is family reading night! We each get to pick one book to read for the night, my son is learning to read so he likes to take turns reading every other page.. which is nice because then he really has to pay attention!

MANDATORY ENTRY: I read to my daughter every single night before she falls sleep in bed at night. I will read an entire story and if my daughter is still awake after I finish, my daughter then reads me the story according to the pictures because she doesn’t know how to read, yet.

We already have a family reading time/night. My kids love books, so getting them to read is no problem. We usually have quite/reading time three times a week. We turn off all distractions and we spend time as a family reading. My daughter is 8 yrs. old and she is just starting to read. She is behind in her reading skills because she has Autism. She loves to be read to though and she will spend hours looking at books.

We snuggle in bed, and I read first. When it gets real interesting I turn the reading over to my granddaughter.
vote on one book and each person reads one page out loud

We love to cuddle on our porch and read in the evening during the summer, in hopes of catching a cool breeze. We pretty much read out there every night before bed.
we make it fun by our whole family acting out the story,it really is fun for everyone!

Since everyone is grown, we don’t have a family reading night, but it is not uncommon for all those in the house to be engrossed in a book, whether in their own room or together in the living room.

We go to the library and pick out a bunch of books and take turns reading them while eating popcorn later in the evening.

Have lots of different books to choose from. Maybe read in different, fun places. Also, maybe you could do a craft or cooking project that goes with the book.
We make it more like an acting script. There a reader of the different characters. And we act out the book. Its a blast
