Try to avoid comments that are even slightly negative. Instead of “This book was boring.” suggest to your child some way of turning this comment around. eg ” I think the author could have made this book more interesting by…….” We should always foster positive attitudes towards reading. Some suggested comments are in the front of the Kluwell My Home Reading Journal, but teachers, parents, and students are more creative. Please send in some great comments! We will award some prizes for great comments.
