Read a section of the newspaper together. Keep reading with your older child. Go to the public library with your child and provide stories that connect to your child s own personal experiences. No child is too old to be read to. Children are more apt to read if they come from a family of readers .
Fathers bring something new to the experience of reading .
Don t Make Reading at Home Feel Like School. Never make it a chore. If your child is reluctant, start in small doses and read to them. Reading should feel personal, cozy, warm and fun. Allow your child to choose which book he or she reads, but encourage variety.
