98: 13 Remarkable Ideas to Help Kids Fall in Love With Reading

I've sadly seen a lot of children resisting reading in the past 5 years. It has been heartbreaking. When we lose the passion for something, we stop doing it. I believe there are things we can do to create passionate lovers of reading. I hope you stick around.

13 Remarkable Ways to Help Kids Fall in Love With Reading:

1. Read to them!
2. Model a passion for reading
3. Give them lots of choices.
4. Bring them to the Media Center/Library
5. Give them time to read.
6. Read for the fun of it!
7. Theme out your book nook.
8. Display books.
9. Stop testing them every second.
10. Conquer the log and the summary.
11. Start a book club.
12. Ask them questions.
13. Treat books like they are magical.

If you treat books like they are magical, kids will grow up believing that they are.
