Link reading to their interests. For example, if a child likes dinosaurs, find books about dinosaurs. There are also many e - books available now with interactive features which can be very appealing to children. You can let them use a tablet to read these e - books. Storytelling sessions are also helpful. Read a story aloud to them in an engaging way, and gradually they will be more interested in reading the stories by themselves.
You can take children to the library regularly. The atmosphere of the library, surrounded by so many books, can be very inspiring. Also, start a family book club. Discuss the books that everyone reads, share thoughts and feelings. This makes reading a more interactive and enjoyable experience for children. And you can reward children with a small treat, like a bookmark or a sticker, every time they finish a book.
One way is to create a cozy reading nook at home. Fill it with soft cushions, warm blankets and lots of interesting books. Let the children feel comfortable and relaxed while reading. Another way is to set an example. If children see their parents reading often, they are more likely to pick up a book themselves.
