Reading At Home Wearing: Peer-group pressure from die children can also be used to encourage the apparendy uninterested parent to join die scheme. One infant school set up a 'Book bug club', with all die children who were reading at home wearing special badges saying Tm a book bug'. In mis particular school the idea worked very well, bringing in many parents whose children had nagged them into joining the scheme so diey could have a badge like all the others! Once the school was satisfied, however, that the maximum possible number of parents was participating (having used all other possible ways to encourage them in), die teachers made sure that every child who wanted to join became a 'book bug'. Once the whole school was in die club, it its enthusiasm for, and commitment to, home reading without suggesting undue pressure.
5 Whenever I meet any child after school, part of our greeting is a talk about who will be reading with them that evening. The teachers do this in class as well - Wall charts are made: 'People who read with me', and used in maths and language work. Reading with children at home has become a part of school lore and of home routine for almost all our families.
6 We have invested money in providing a good supply of new and relevant books for our children. They have a wide choice and really take pleasure in choosing their daily selection for home reading.
(b) Keep the reading sessions short: ten to fifteen minutes is plenty. (After all, how many children can be heard reading as regularly and for as long in school?) Five minutes of good reading experience is probably worth hours of boring struggle. And you have to consider your own time: you are less likely to be able to keep up the home reading if the demands you are making on yourself are too heavy.
