Reading must never be turned into a chore. The way to ensure that kids regard reading as fun, relaxing, stress free and something you want to do more of, is to READ TO THEM, in exactly that way from birth. Show them how it is done!
If you think reading to your preschool child nightly is a bore, you should try helping your semi-literate tween with ALL their homework on a daily basis.
Give your kids a lifelong love of reading by surrounding the with quality books and stories, decisive parenting with decreased screen time, regular trips to the library or bookstore and by setting a good example.
I love books. I like that moment you open one and sink into it…escape from the world, into a story that’s way more interesting than yours will ever be. – Elizabeth Scott –
