I am always trying to make reading exciting for my kids. One way I've found to encourage their reading is to promise checking out a movie after they have read the book. My boys are a bit too young for this to be super effective, but my daughter loves it! This is a list of 50 quality books that have pretty great movies to go along with them. Please check for ratings and age appropriateness for your kiddo, pop some popcorn, and enjoy!
