Reading books is deemed as a chore by most kids these days. They
no longer enjoy the feel of holding a book, flipping its pages and understanding
its content chapter by chapter. Thus, making kids treat it as fun activity will require much effort on the
part of the parents.
The best way to make your kids love reading is to read aloud
to them before bed time or whenever you have time to spare. This also means
that you must love reading too. Instead of holding your gadget and browsing
through ebooks, let your kids catch you holding your favourite paperback book and
reading it in between household chores. If possible, limit the number of
computers or mobile gadgets in your house.
A desktop or laptop for the whole family is enough especially when your
kids are still young.
Walk your kids to the nearest library in your locality. Kids
can be thrilled with the idea of being surrounded with a lot of books and reading
them with other kids. By frequenting the library with your kids, they will have
a bigger chance to meet a reading or library buddy. Your kids will have new
friends besides a new found love for reading.
