Tips for Engaging Children in Reading At Home Plus Kellogg's-Scholastic Prize Pack Giveaway

Eating breakfast has shown to improve children's learning in the classroom. Reading at home also impacts successful learning in the classroom. That's why Kellogg's has partnered with Walmart and Scholastic to bring more books into your children's lives through the Kellogg's Family Rewards program!

Getting free books is easy to do. Simply buy specially marked Kellogg's products at Walmart and you'll be able to redeem a coupon for a free Scholastic book of your child's choice! Kids are more likely to finish reading a book that they choose that interests them, so this could really help daily reading habits.

Tips for Engaging Children in Reading At Home


Parents can help prepare their kids for success in the classroom by following a few tips on how to encourage reading outside of school.

·         Make reading a social event: Family book clubs can be a great way to turn reading into a social activity while incorporating family and friends.

·         Let your kids have a say: Let kids choose which books they want to read. Nine out of 10 children say they are more likely to finish books they choose themselves, according to Scholastic’s 2010 Kids and Family Reading Report.

·         Start the day right: Breakfast can help kids boost their academic performance by increasing their focus. Before heading out the door for school, have a complete breakfast. Cereal, fruit and milk is a convenient option that kids love.

·         Turn reading into a fun family experience: Add fun to reading by having an animated, read-out-loud session during an after-school break with snacks such as Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars or curling up with a great story before bedtime.

·         Get A Great Start: Kellogg’s and Scholastic are teaming up to help families get a great start to the school year by providing a coupon for free Scholastic books valued up to $5 with the purchase of two specially marked Kellogg’sproducts at Walmart.

I received a kit just like the one above which included great breakfast products and books. Lil Man was quite excited when he saw the Blueberry Nutri Grain bars because it has been awhile since he's had them! Goosebumps Beware the Snowman has been Big Bro's nightly read and he's almost finished it in less than a week!

You can access Free Reading Resources at Read Every Day. There are special features from celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Ellen DeGeneres as well as a free interactive reading app!
