Create a Cozy Reading Nook

Designate a special spot just for reading. It could be a comfy chair with a soft blanket, a pillow fort, or even a decorated cardboard box! This creates a sense of ownership and excitement around reading.

Let Your Child Choose

Empower your child by letting them pick their own books. Visiting the library or bookstore together can be a fun outing, allowing them to browse and discover stories that spark their interest.

Make it Interactive

Ask questions, encourage predictions, and discuss the characters and plot. Act out scenes, use funny voices, or even draw pictures related to the story.

Don’t Push Too Hard

We know parenting is demanding, and your routine is already busy. If your child is resisting, take a break and try again later. Avoid turning reading into a power struggle. Keep it light, fun, and pressure-free. Explore how stories can help with tough talks.

Celebrate Milestones

Acknowledge and celebrate your child’s reading progress, no matter how small. A sticker chart, a special treat, or simply words of encouragement can go a long way in building confidence and motivation. Discover diverse and inclusive books for every child.
