When a holiday comes,your child.may come home with a holiday reading 1ist．In the high
school where I teach,the holiday reading list ranges(范圍)from William Shakespeare and Mark Twain to today’s young adult literature．
Holiday reading should be fun and something that kids expect．When it’s time for you to go and
get the books required by school for your child’s holiday reading,get them,but I also suggest that
you take your child with you to the bookstore or library to check out the books and,see if there’s a
book that catches your child’s eye．If there is,get that one．In my experience,kids become better
readers and lifelong lovers of books if they read books that they have chosen．
Boys are sometimes more difficult to find books for．They don’t want to read books with women
playing the leading roles．But more and more books with male leads are coming out,for example,
Son of the Mob by Gordon Korman and Be more Chill by Ned Vizzini．Magazines and long comic
books are also great holiday reading choices for boys and girls．
Also,read yourself and ask your child questi**o you like it?What’s your favourite part?What do you think of the characters?And also,give your child your answers to these questi**．Take all interest in the books your child reads．This way,he or she will find that holiday reading is much fun．
In the end．make sure kids do their required holiday reading,encourage a love of reading by helping them choose what they want to read,and read with them．
