Tips how we get our grandchildren to enjoy reading during the summer

I'm so happy my grandchildren enjoy reading. It doesn't take a lot to get them to read during the summer when they are rewarded.

My daughter takes our grandsons to the school library weekly, where the boys can earn books from the bookstore for reading during the summer. They love to do this, because they earn the right to pick a book they like.

My husband and also I subscribe to children's magazines in our grandsons names as special gifts so they have reading to look forward to. We always pick a topic they're interested in at the time, so they want to read. This requires keeping up with their activities. They may like baseball one year, and skakeboarding the next.

The boys also have a kit to create their own books. I hope to get one for our granddaughter, too. They're all very creative.

Since our three-year-old granddaughter is interested in books, too, I want to help her become a reader. We buy her books on special occasions like Easter and read stories to her. And it's fun to let her read to us.
