8 reading tips to help kids love books

Before jumping to the 8 tips to foster the joy of reading books in children, ask yourself these questions:

Do I want my child to be a reader? Why?

What do I hope my child will get out of making reading a habit? Do I have unrealistic expectations in this regard?

Am I willing to put in time (whatever possible) and effort to raise a reader?

Kids are mostly a reflection of their environment. And these reading tips reflect the same. Navigate the slideshow or scroll down below to view.

“Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.”

Kate DiCamillo, American children’s fiction author
Tip #1: Make sure children are around books
Tip #2: Let children pick the books they like
Tip #3: Develop a daily reading habit
Tip #4: To let their imagination run wild, buy different kinds of books

The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them access to those books, and letting them read them.

Neil Gaiman, English author of short fiction, novels, comic books, graphic novels, audio theatre, and screenplays
