Reading is super important for me. Here are some things I do to make sure it is always a priority:
1. We visit our library! In addition to checking out books, there are story times, a play area and other free resources. Libraries are great community centers and offer so much.
2. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library provides free books to kids! We love when our book arrives each month (and I just signed up my newborn too)
3. Reading is in the routine but we make it work with our season of life. When I was pregnant and low energy, we would read after breakfast while my older son was in his high chair.
4. My husband and I both like to read. Our sons see us enjoying books!
5. Books are always the preferred gift in our house. We don’t have a lot of space for toys, so books are much easier to store. I also love seeing what books people pick.
How do you prioritize reading in your house?
