What are some ways to make sure my child learns to love reading?

1. Start early by introducing books at a young age. Make it part of your daily routine to read aloud together or have them read independently as soon as they can understand the concept of reading.
2. Read aloud with your child every day and talk about what you’re reading. This will help build their vocabulary, comprehension skills, and appreciation for literature.
3. Have regular book discussions. Ask open-ended questions that require more than a simple “yes” or “no” answer. Talk about characters, settings, themes, and other elements of the story.
4. Let your child pick out their own books. When they find something they like, let them explore further on their own. This will help them develop an interest in reading and show them that reading is fun.
5. Encourage your child to write down their thoughts about the stories they read. This can be done in a journal or online through a website such as Kidblog. This will give them an outlet to express themselves and create their own stories.
