13 DIY Bookmarks for the Little Bookworm in Your Life

Reading should be fun. In fact, the Department of Education found that, generally, the more students read for fun on their own time, the higher their reading scores.

Besides reading aloud to your child (which has a huge impact on her or his literacy and oral language readiness), why not find other ways to get involved, and make reading special?

Craft project alert!

As the saying goes, “Books fall open, and you fall in.” Well that’s all well and good unless the book falls open and you lose your place!

Grab your washi tape, paper, scissors, and favorite young reader — it’s time to make a superfun DIY bookmark that your little one will love.
