Pay attention to what your child likes to read. Look for books that reinforce his interests and show that you share those interests with him. Help your child build his own library. Give books as rewards and gifts. It can be as simple as a box or a plastic crate.
Used books are often available at libraries, thrift shops and used bookstores.
Take your child to local places. These experiences help build his knowledge and vocabulary. You'll help build your child's listening and thinking skills. These are perfect times to communicate with your child. Pack a book or two to take along.
