Set aside a regular time for reading with your child every day.
Find a fairly quiet, well lit place for your child to read.
Surround your children with reading material.

Make regular visits to your local library. Ask your librarian for engaging children's books.
Leave notes in a lunch bag or on the refrigerator for your child to discover and read.
Set a positive example for your child by reading and writing yourself.
