It’s a simple story. Pages made from printer paper. The point is the subjects are familiar. This girl loves everything about the beach so ‘reading’ about it is fun. Seven-year-old read the story that afternoon:

I Love the Beach!
I get up out of my bed.
I get my pail.
Let’s make a castle.
Time for a swim!
I like the little pools.
We go to the house.
The End.

Fun favorites. A personalized book to remember our vacation time. About half an hour to make. The promise of couch reading time ahead.

  • Four-year-old’s reading interest started with her Homemade Birthday Book. Just a bit of practice and she’s learning words. A gentle approach over this last year – just when she’s interested. Now, as she’s closer to her fifth birthday she wants to read more often.
  • Tailor your book to your special family vacation. Maybe your trip wasn’t to the beach but to visit family? Or maybe your book could be about a favorite field trip to the zoo. Name all the animals!

Most importantly – it’s easy! Easy to make. Easy to take a bit of time to practice reading now and then.
