Us One of the best ways to encourage a love of reading is to have regular times each day for sharing books with your children. Find a quiet, well-lit spot where you can sit comfortably with your children. Sometimes, you pick the books to read. Whether you read a story or tell a story of your own, your children are learning how to imagine and how words communicate ideas. The most important thing you can do as you share a story with your children is to make it an enjoyable experience for you all.
Children love to hear the human voice.
Even babies find great comfort in listening to voices. In fact, one of the best ways to encourage a love of reading is to have regular times for sharing books with your children each day - starting with infancy. Choose books that are written for children and have brightly colored, simple pictures. As you read, let your children point to the pictures and talk about what is happening to the characters and which characters they each like best. As children are having fun hearing the stories, you are helping children learn to think and to put ideas and words together.
