{Now Closed} Family Reading Night Challenge + Vtech V.Reader Giveaway

July 13, 2010 By: Briana Carter132 Comments

Family Reading Night? Sounds kind of boring, right? In the age of digital, who wants to read.

Well, me for one. I love to read. I hope that my kids get the reading bug too. Sometimes it helps if it is a book that is interesting to them, like my older daughter loves the Twilight book series or just a book that has pretty pictures in the case of my youngest daughter.

One way I have be able to make reading fun for the little ones in our household – ages 6 and 4, is the new Vtech V.Reader, which we received last week. Not only it is educational, it is fun too! I don’t think the kids have realized yet that this is really a learning toy!

The Vtech V.Reader is like a Kindle for little kids. It is slim and easy to operate.  The Vtech V.Reader was an instant hit with my kids. They each took turns listening to the story and playing the word games. Then, Eli started begging me to get the books online. It isn’t available yet but soon there will be hundreds of downloadable books, may of them free.

Do you have any ideas on how to make a fun reading night for the entire family?

Leave your thoughts in the comments and you will be entered to win a new V.Reader and a game to go along with it ($80 value.) You will have your choice of pink or blue!

    There are different things you can do for a family reading night, you can have the kids read or have a book read to them, then perform a play or puppet show, based on the book. You can also put on a play/show based on a homemade script. You can play charades or Rhyming Time.

    What I do with my kids, is after we watch a movie, we go to the library and look for books based on or related to the movie. Recently, I got about 4 Toy Story 3 books :) … We also write in a Journal about the stories/movies we read/watched, and have them read to us their entries

    For a great family reading night, don’t be shy! I love to do all the voices and accents when I read to little ones. For books that are very familiar to them, I like to substitute a few words, or skip a sentence or two, so they can ‘catch’ me.

    My idea is for small kids who don’t read yet. Have each kid and adult pick a favorite short book. Put the names of the family members in a hat. Pull a name out and an adult reads the book that that person chose.

    We have Friday reading night. My ten year old reads on his own, but my four year old likes to read to me or for me to read to her. If we had the V-Tech V Reader, I think it would expand on my four year old’s reading experience and encourage her to read even more. She would be challenged and reading would become more of a game.

    My 1-1/2 year old & 3 Year old LOVE being read to!!! It really pulls them in when you read to them with excitment & expression! Every night I let them each pick out a book. I read them and then I let my 3 year old son read his version of it! He loves reading to his baby sister. We make this a nightly ritual and sometimes complete it with a snack like popcorn! Much better than watching a movie with them because we are all interacting!!!!

    I’ve been reading daily to my girls since litereally day one (even before). So they both love to read (getting less books at night is a punishment). But for extra family fun we pick out books that have a common theme and do crafts or activities that have to do with the books. Ex: we read green eggs & ham and if you give a mouse a cookie then have breakfast for dinner with green eggs and then cookies for desert and make mouse ears with a paper plate cut in 1/2 and decorated by them. :)

    I do reading night with my 2 littlest ones every night before bed. When we do family reading night, my husband will read a choose your own adventure book to the bigger kids. Then when he gets to a choice, the kids pick which one. You never know where the story is going to end up and they all really enjoy it.

    I wish I knew how to make reading fun for all – my kids have such a gap in age (5, 15, 17). I think my 5 year old is the only one that is going to be a reader though. 17 year old goes through spurts and then burns herself out. 15 year old just doesn’t like to read (I know – how can anyone not like to read???) So I am putting my efforts into my youngest. He loves to have us read to him at night and I am excited for him to start reading to us!

    We take turns picking out a book. My husband reads in funny voices. Our older son reads his books while putting on a puppet show. Our 3 year old can’t read but makes up the cutest stories while he turns each page. It’s so cute. When it’s my turn I pick nursery rhymes and I sing them,which is hilarious because I have the worst singing voice. We have so much fun reading to each other.

    We would get a bunch of comfy pillows and blankets and all sit on the couch together. I would make a variety of snacks and we would turn off all over noise and simply read our books. My husband has a new Kindle which has helped him to read a lot and my son would LOVE to have something like that. We are big readers in our family so we often read together.

    To broaden their reading interests, you may want to expose your child to many different types of books, rotating between biographies, nonfiction, historical fiction, mysteries and other genres. Encouraging children to write down their requests for family reading night will increase their anticipation for this special event.

    We read a lot in house. Some ways that we make reading fun:

    *read books with repeating lines for young readers to feel a part of the action.
    *have grandparents, aunt, uncles, family friends record themselves reading or read while skyping (my girls love this!)
    * make a food item to match what is in the book.
    * write or imagine a new ending to the book.
    *read a longer chapter book that has a movie. Watch the movie to celebrate finishing the book and then talk about how it was alike/different.

    I think it would be fun to have a theme night that corresponded to what ever story was being read. Everyone could dress up or just make hats out of cardboard and paper. Then have dinner be something thats in the story or that the characters might eat. And after dinner there could be a small treasure hunt. My kids and now grandkids like to find out about different cultures or people and learn the little everyday things that set those people apart from us. My grandaughter’s summer library program is on Medieval Times this year so we are teaching them about how people lived, how they dressed, what they ate, and of course all about the knights and all that armour. I don’t think you’d neccassarily have to go all out with costumes unless you could afford it or had access to things like that. There are ways to experience things without it costing a lot of money. One of my kids most eye opening experiences was spending a night and day in a tipi and seeing how everyone had their own space. They also leaned that in limited space like a tipi there was a place for everything and if something was out of place that it caused confusion. But they really liked laying in the tipi at night being able to see the sky and stars through the smoke hole.

    We always do story time before bed. Over the summer, we have time to make it to the library each week, so story time is almost always the week’s special picks from the library!!

    We have two small children, 3 and 1 years of age and as all moms know at that age it is hard to keep their attention. Sometimes we will sing the books or let our three year old chime in on the parts he knows to keep him entertained. We try to all four sit down every night and read together. I feel its very important to start early. Both of our children randomly bring us books throughout the day and ask us to read them so we try to make time for that as well.They are only young once after all! :)

    We take my daughter to the library and she gets to pick out all the books we read on her own. She gets so excited when we read her one of the books she chose.

    Sometimes we also will read a story and the next day we will try and do some of the things in the story. For example if the characters are on a safari, we will go in the backyard and pretend we are on a safari. I like it because it gets her to recall what happened in the book and she likes it because we go on lots of adventure.

    for a fun reading night i think its nice to have everyone read a little from the book and create the voices themselves on how they think the characters sound when speaking

    I would make it a theme night- we would select a common topic, and go “treasure hunting” in the library to find a book on that topic, then share what we have learned/read with each other!

    Write your own book to read! Have each family member give a sentence to the story, going around and adding one at a time. Have the kids draw pictures to go with each page – you can find blank books at a teacher store. When it is all finished, have a premiere night and read it together!

    My daughter (not yet a reader) absolutely loves to make up the story based on her memory and the pictures. For now I think its perfectly enjoyable to sit and listen to her tales. She loves books so much she said she wanted to be a Librarian when she grew up.

    my kids aren’t old enough to read yet but we read to them every night… we try to make funny voices or ask them who the characters remind them off and make it fun for them! sometimes we have to read the same book every night for weeks!

    in our family the best times are when each of the boys gets to chose one book (a shorter one) and we read them with lots of different voices and sound affects.
    when we’ve hit sort of a boredom point with reading I will get really silly and we’ll read a whole book backwards (reading the sentences and pages backwards, not trying to read the individual words backwards that hurts my brain). Or I’ll read the story and replace a word that is used a lot with something off the wall so its completely silly.

    WE have everyone take a page or line and we all do our best inpersonations to go with each charater. It is a blast! Sometimes we laugh so hard we actually have to go back and re-read the page but its all good.
