Reading with your teen not to your teen

If your child is to old to read to then try reading with them! It all started when my teen raved about a book and insisted I read it. I believe it was Hunger Games. So I ordered the book from the library and started reading. The result was we had something to talk about! Can you imagine that...real conversation with my teen! He would ask, have you got to this point yet, what did you think when that happened, what page are you on.....etc. We read the whole series like this and I have to say it was one of the many best moments in my life. Give it a try and see how wonderful this simple idea is.

Below are some great gifts to make reading that much more special!
