Instilling the habit of reading in children will be the best gift you can give your child. You will be giving him the most important tool to shape his future. But in today’s world full of video games and television, reading will not be the first option a kid would go for. So how can we promote reading to our children?

Introduce books to your child at an early age. Show books with colorful, large pictures of familiar objects to toddlers, they love recognizing things they know. Read stories with a lot of pictures and animate your voice.

Have plenty of books at home and create a reading culture where you set the example by reading and show that you enjoy it. Explain the wonders that can be found in books to your children to get them interested in books. Choose subjects that they are interested in at the time.

Get membership at a library. Make the trip to the library a fun one which the kids will look forward to every week. Discuss the books they have read the week before and what they plan to borrow this week. Get them involved in selecting books.
