How To Raise A Child Who Likes To Read
I knew when I had kids that I would want them to enjoy reading just as much I did, so I made sure to start reading to them as soon as they were born. I’d love to say that each of my seven kids loves to get lost in a good book as much I did growing up, but truth be told it, it was always something I had to encourage them to do and get creative.

Now as they get older, I enjoy watching my older boys share a good book with their younger siblings. To watch my little girls sit and listen to their older brothers read to them makes me so happy! Read below for a few ways that you can make reading fun.
How To Raise A Child Who Likes To Read
Create a cozy reading nook with throw blankets and pillows for reading time. Surround your kids with books as soon as they are born. I bought the kids books before they were even born and now I have a nice selection of books for kids of all ages!
• Read together and make it a routine! Obviously bedtime is a kids favorite time to read, but get creative! Anytime is a good time to read to your kids. When Robert was only two, he’d sit in my lap and I would read whatever I was reading out loud to him.
• Everything is so digital nowadays, allow your kids to pick their own books with characters they love.
• Always provide a good variety of books! Order a collection of books that you enjoyed as a kid and read together!
• Have older siblings read to their younger brother or sister. This is a great way to get the family reading together and will give you some time to set up for snacktime or naptime.
