Five Tips for Parents of Reluctant Readers


Would your child rather clean up his room than pick up a book?
* Make reading relaxing and low-key for a short part of the day.
* Read aloud some funny or interesting parts of your favorite book.
* Draw your child in with a riddle book for kids, a passage from a sports magazine or a newspaper story.
* If your kid likes movies, see if it’s based on a book, then bring home the book.
*For kids who have lost the motivation to read, use material that’s intensely interesting to them.
