Simply On Purpose: Positive parenting resources for the intentional family

How to encourage a love of reading at home!

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Have you heard about the The Mom Store? It's a simple system that helps your child learn to LOVE reading. And keeps them in books for a long time.

Here's how it works:

  1. Children are given 1 ticket for every 10 pages they read (books should be on their reading level).
  2. They can use these tickets to "purchase" items from The Mom Store. This includes things like snacks, stuffies to rent and blankets to read with, etc.
  3. Or, they can save their tickets to trade for bigger coupons like movie theater tickets, root beer float parties, or a lunch date with a family member. You can create your own incentives!
  4. The Mom Store doesn't open unless everyone commits to reading for the agreed-upon amount of time. (age-appropriate, of course!)

It's the perfect system to introduce in the summer and give your child lots of positive experiences with reading which will create a lifetime love for books.

This printable includes instructions, an FAQ to help you get started, labels, tickets, and fun coupons. Start your own store today!
