Children are extremely imitative. Have plenty of books within the house and infuse a reading culture in your house. They should see their parents reading books so that they are motivated to read.

We often hear complaints from parents that kids don't seem to be reading and that they strive for all kinds of things. therefore I feel parents need to begin reading for their kids to begin reading. Tell them the time of day stories. If the kid is a demand that he needs to play on the iPad, raise him to browse a book then offer him an iPad. enable them to get the wonder of reading and books.
