Reading minute milestones

If your kids are past the "read to me" stage, you’ll need to try a different approach. One way is to set "minute milestones." Set up a chart and have your kids record how many minutes they read each day – you might want to set a 10-minute daily minimum. This is reading done outside of homework. Then, each time they hit the 100-minute mark; do something special for them. You can also apply this approach by keeping track of the number of books they read. Set a goal and a deadline. Agree on a reward for reaching the mark, and let the doorways of imagination swing open for your children.
