Do you struggle to get your kids to read? With the availability of modern technology, it can be a difficult task to teach kids to love to read, but it can also be very rewarding. As a homeschool mom of four Elizabeth Blake writes in "Creating Joyful Readers: How to Inspire a Love for Books in Kids'' about her own experience of raising her children to be lifelong readers. ◆A Reading-Friendly Environment: Design and create comfortable and welcoming reading nooks, provide easy access to books, and add book décor. ◆Daily Reading Routines: Make reading a lifelong habit with the use of daily reading times, read-alouds and family reading times. ◆Leveraging Technology: Use e-readers, reading apps, and audiobooks to combine traditional reading with technology, making reading more accessible. ◆Encouraging Personal Connections: Encourage children to write their own stories, hold family reading sessions that make lasting memories, and use conversation to help them develop a personal connection with stories and characters. ◆Exploring Different Genres: Get out of your comfort zones and learn new things by introducing children to a range of new topics and genres, from poetry to non-fiction, and also incorporate books into other hobbies and activities to round-out a complete reading experience. "Creating Joyful Readers" provides practical tips and advice to make reading an enjoyable and important part of your family's life, whether you're a homeschooling parent or looking for ways to enrich your child's education outside of the classroom.

Developing Arts Loving Readers is based on the premise that children can and do learn a great deal about the arts and their own abilities innately. Involvement and immersion author Nan. L. McDonald argues, are the ways in which children may feel welcome to write, move, create, draw, and otherwise express ideas about art and music directly. Teaching suggestions are offered to classroom teachers and other non-specialists, so that classroom-reading activities may be extended into group discussions, co-operative learning-arts projects, and creative performances. Appended are extensive resource lists for further integrated arts teaching in the classroom.
