I always chuckle when I say “Winter Break” while living in Hawai\u02bbi because it sure isn\u02bbt the blustery weather I grew up in as a child. However, it is still break and the perfect (hectic) time to connect with our families and spread the joy of kahiau.\u00a0And what better way to show our gratitude for one another than enjoying some reading time with a cup of hot cocoa and a nice snuggly blanket.<\/p>\n

But realistically the routines can fly out the window with celebrations, travel and out-of-town guests. As your Ohana\u00a0prepares for the holidays, use these tips for keeping kids engaged in learning and reading over winter break.<\/p>\n

Read for fun!<\/strong> Whether your child is in the mood for holiday stories<\/a> or the newest installment from a favorite series<\/a>, winter break provides the perfect opportunity to set aside school books and read for fun. Make time for bedtime stories to create the routine and enjoy books on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Stock up on books<\/strong> at the local library. Help your child pick out books they\u2019re interested in reading over the winter break. Libraries may also have fun, free holiday activities <\/a>throughout the break.<\/p>\n

Create a new tradition.<\/strong> A little predictability is comforting for kids. Starting a special Winter Break Story Time can be a new tradition that links reading with happy memories. Hot cocoa and your favorite stories will have the whole family feeling comfy and cozy, while creating memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

To LOVE reading is the key to how we connect to the world we live in. “A book is a magical thing that lets you travel to far-away places without ever leaving your chair.” -Katrina Mayer<\/strong><\/p>\n
