Something to think about Here are a few ideas you might like to think about. Most important of all, read to your children regularly even before they start school. Find a good, thick book full of interesting stories for children and make a habit of reading a few pages aloud to your children every night. Sometimes, as they learn to read, let them take over the reading and keep them on their toes by asking a few questions. Set an example yourself.
Children learn by example and seeing their parents reading is the best example possible.
Read with your children. Find a cozy, quiet corner where you won't be disturbed and invite them to read a favorite story to you. Sometimes give a book as a gift. It shows that you value reading and books enough to make them special. Make a habit of visiting the local public library to let your children pick out some books.
