• In this era of media overdose, it is
  imperative for parents to create a
  reading-friendly home for their children. During
  the past era, reading books was an important
  entertainment option for the kids. But not
  anymore, audio-visual media has robbed books of
  their charm, and everyone wants to watch and hear
  rather than read. However, as childcare Torrance,
  CA experts we advise the parents to do their bit
  to encourage children to read and take a keen
  interest in books.

• Our first advice is to create a perfect library
  for them. Yes, when you provide kids with enough
  reading materials they will, of course, take
  interest in them. There are different types of
  board books that can be purchased to create an
  interesting collection for children. Your library
  should be a perfect blend of educational books as
  well as storybooks. You will find enough options
  available in the market. 
• Secondly, place these books within the eyesight
  of the child. Arrange them in a place where your
  kid can readily access them. There is no point of
  keeping them high up whereby they have to run up
  to you each time. Yes, they will create a mess
  with it, but you have to stay patient. Slowly
  they will understand the worth of books and even
  start arranging them neatly themselves.

• Thirdly, if you have already exposed your child
  to audio-visual media there is no point in trying
  to forcibly convert him/her into an avid reader.
  Rather, create a schedule where the media viewing
  time and reading time are equal. And when the
  child is reading do not access any media
  yourself. As childcare Torrance, CA experts we
  would suggest you pick up a book of your choice
  yourself and start reading. 
• Fourthly, parents need to participate in the book
  reading time. They need to read out the stories
  if the child is not too comfortable reading. If
  the child has already started picking up letters,
  then encourage him/her to read and guide the
  child when needed. With your assistance the child
  will get better at reading and this will auger
  well for future academics.

• Fifthly, it is important to create a special
  reading zone in the house. This place needs to
  fit with attractive lighting. You also need to
  change the reading materials from time to time.
  Children get bored very quickly and to keep them
  enthusiastic you have to purchase new books and
  magazines periodically. 
• The lessons children learn at a tender age
  tend to stick with them for the rest of their
  lives. By encouraging your kid to read books, you
  keep him/her ahead in academics for the rest of
  his/her life.
