To coincide with National Literacy Week (8 -14 September) we’re giving away ten full sets of the international bestselling children’s book Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. Share your tips on how to engage reluctant readers to be in with a chance to win!
If you’ve ever spent hours pleading, bargaining or even bribing your DC to read, or practice their reading, then you’ll know what a challenge this can prove to weary parents. Sometimes all you need is a little incentive; and to find the right books to start. The much loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid series mixes words with black and white cartoons, which has often led to an improvement in children’s engagement with reading, even kick-starting their independent reading journey. Mumsnet and Puffin books want you be a part of the Wimpy Kid success story.
To enter our competition, we’d like to hear your stories and advice on how you helped a child to read; the more innovative, the better! And if Wimpy Kid has improved your child’s literacy (and perhaps saved your sanity!) then please share your experiences in the thread below. We look forward to reading!
This competition is sponsored by Puffin books. The publication of the ninth book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is 5 November 2014.
