TOO BUSY TO READ?

FINDING TIME TO READ TO OUR CHILDREN

Family life is busy and can often seem chaotic. We know the value of reading with our children but it is often difficult to find the quality time for it.

This topic was made up of 4 posts, each providing busy families with strategies or suggestions for creating interesting reading moments. 

Snuggled together with your child on a comfy couch is always heart-warming, but there are really no rules to when and where you should read with your child.  The suggestions may even suit families that already read numerous books together during the day because it can also be beneficial to introduce some variety to your reading routine. 


The suggestions offered in the series of posts simply encourage you to get creative with your time.


Click on each suggestion to take you to the article, where you will also find some suggested books.

1. Read at a meal-time.



2. Read at bath-time.


3. Read while your child is sitting on the potty.


4. Take a book with you on a supermarket trip.


Where is your favourite place to read with your child? Do you have any interesting or bizarre places that you like to read?
