How to get kids to enjoy reading?
The age-old question: How do you get
your children to enjoy reading? Here is a small piece of an informative
interview and a link to read more.
Ken Baker is a children's book author and writer. Carla Morris is the current Chair of ALA’s 2013 Theodore Geisel Committee and librarian for the past 32 years at the Provo City Library.
What advice do you have for parents who want their children to read more?
Carla: Read yourself! Let your children see you read. Let your children see you cry over a book or laugh. Talk about what you are reading to your kids. Have books in your home. Have big shelves of physical, real, tangible books. Your children should own copies of their favorite books. Give them books for Christmas, their birthdays with something personally written to them inside the cover. Those books will outlast their toys.
