How to Encourage Kids to Read

Reading skills are critical for preschool learning and childhood development, but sadly, many of today's kids would rather watch television or play a video game than read a book. Getting your kids to read can be a challenge, but with the use of quality children's books, it doesn't have to be an insurmountable one.

1. Read to your child starting at an early age. Many people have fond memories of their parents reading them bedtime stories, and reading to your child will help foster a love of words and reading.

Reading to a child also models a lot of important things about reading: which way to hold a book, how to turn the pages, and the idea that printed words represent sounds and meanings.

Don't be afraid to ham it up when reading to a child. An extra dose of drama adds interest—and reinforces how words and sentences sound.

As your children learn to read, encourage them to "help" you find letters and sound out words. You can even drop in little lessons, such as, "What other word here sounds like 'tree'? That's right, 'see'. Do you see the tree? What letters make that "ee" sound?"

5. Encourage your child to find new books on their own to read.
