One of the challenges facing me as a parent over the summer is to keep my kids interested in reading. They've got a lot of summertime activities to keep them busy before school begins, but unfortunately keeping up on their reading skills is not one of them. The biggest problem is keeping them motivated to open a book daily. I've tried monetary rewards with little success, but I've recently found a way to keep them motivated and engaged.
Bookboard is a personalized, goal-oriented program that encourages reading. Kids are able to select reading materials based on their interests, keeping them engaged and in charge of their reading.
Bookboard tracks their reading progress, providing suggested reading based on their preferences, and unlocking a new book when they've finished their current one. Parents can follow up on their child's progress and offers a way to reinforce good reading habits. Bookboard's gaming feature gives reading a fun competitive feel to help keep children motivated.
Hundreds of books are available on Bookboard, so your child is always certain to find something that piques their interest. There are no books to download or libraries to maintain. Simply tap on a new book title and start reading!
You can get Bookboard for $8.99 a month, or a 6-month subscription for just $4.99 a month ($29.94 billed every 6 months). Find out more at Bookboard.com.
