Try to have a regular reading time every day (before going to bed seem to work for most). During holidays, you may do it in the early mornings or mid-afternoon.

Its okay to choose some random story from the book, if that’s what your child want. Let him/her choose the story, let them turn pages, and let them read along (if they are old enough).

There is no greater gift that you can give to your children than to read them the best children’s books. You can choose from a wide variety of books for various age groups.
