Read and Bead

Help motivate your child to read with this simple idea! Go to your local craft store or look online for beads that your child would like. There are many different types of beads available….glow in the dark, alphabet, sport-themed, metallic, etc.. Tie one bead to the end of a yarn lace or a pipe cleaner. Then, each time your child reads a chapter or a book during your mentoring hours this year, give them one bead to add to the lace. Use this as a bookmark or turn it in to a bracelet or necklace when enough beads have been added.
