Helping Kids Learn to Enjoy Reading – Advice from another children’s librarian

Here are her main points:

• Make reading fun, not work.
• Read aloud to and with your child.
• Let your child read the kinds of books that he or she wants, even if they are non-fiction, and even they aren’t officially at your child’s grade level. Explore a broad range of genres, including graphic novels.
