Teaching Children to Love Reading

Fostering a love of reading in children is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Here are proven strategies to help children become enthusiastic readers.

Read Aloud Daily

Reading aloud to children, even after they can read independently, builds vocabulary, comprehension, and positive associations with books.

Let Them Choose

Children are more likely to read when they have agency in choosing their books. Take them to libraries and bookstores and let them explore.

Create a Reading-Rich Environment

Fill your home with books at every reading level. Keep books accessible in every room, including the car for trips.

Model Reading

Children learn by example. Let them see you reading and enjoying books. Share what you're reading and why you love it.
