If your children are old enough, you can ask them about the types of books that they like to read.
Hear are 3 Tips to get started:
- Keep a variety of reading materials
It would be great to start off the environment from as early as the baby stage. You can collect books with mirrors or board books and also books with different textures.
Preschool children enjoy alphabet books, rhyming books, and picture books. Elementary-age children enjoy reading fiction and non fiction books.
2. Create a Go- To Reading Place
Place some of the books with the covers facing out so they're easy to spot.
Put a basket full of books and magazines next to their favorite places to sit.
Create a cozy reading corner, and encourage your kids to use it by setting up "reading corner time" each day.

Your child will start to cultivate the love for reading if you consistently utilize these tips.
