Encourage Summer Ready With Cwist

I recently introduced you to a new platform, cwist,  to help motivate and reward your children the way you want to. I cwist is an activity you want your child to do, when they do it they get their wish. You can assign your child cwist’s you want them to do. You have the option to chose among the cwist activities that are currently populated on the site or create your own. If you visit my first post, Beat the Summer Boredom and cwist, you will find exactly what the platform offers.

Today I want to talk about how cwist is encouraging summer reading and asking you to help. cwist is encouraging teachers and parents to create summer reading cwist using the summer reading lists given to you by your school. I absolutely love this idea. Not only is it away to encourage your children to read the suggested summer reading list, but it is great to have it all in one place so when you are at the library you can pull up the list see exactly what each book looks like.

I’ve already began the 2nd Grade summer reading list for my daughters grade and school.

I still have six more books to add but so far I have a pretty good start. The next task is decide what “wish” to give my daughter as she completes the books. I’ve decided to do it a few different ways. She has really been wanting these “blind “Littlest Pet Shop” bags” that sell at target for $2.99. Depending on the length of the book I may do one bag for each book. Or I may put together a super prize for reading 4-5 books. I want to discuss with her what she would consider a great reward.

This is one thing I encourage you to do as a parent. Talk to your children about what they want to do, what motivates them, and what type of rewards they would like to work towards. By being included in the process you are more likely to get a positive outcome. I love that my daughter can sign onto the account her self and track which books she has read and see what books she still needs to read to complete a cwist.
