NME to Encourage Reading

It can often be a real challenge to get your kids to read at home to improve their skills.  What are you supposed to do when all they want to do is watch TV?  What can you offer them in the reading department?   Well if you jazz it up a little – perhaps with a magazine subscription from the National Magazine Exchange (which you can ‘exchange’ at any point during the time of your subscription) then they might actually get interested.

Pick a topic that your child enjoys – like bike riding, animals, crafts – and then order a subscription for them.  When the magazine first arrives, tell your child you have a special gift for them and see their faces light up.  You will see – probably quicker than you imagined – how much reading they will do when it is suddenly fun and they know they have another installment to look forward to next month.
