Though some parents have trouble getting their kid's nose out of a book, others only hear, "Reading is boring!" There are lots of reasons kids might feel that way, but sometimes involving other senses can get them hooked.
Although parents are usually familiar with reading aloud to little kids, they often stop when kids can read themselves. But taking turns reading to each other and discussing along the way is not only a great way to engage older kids—it's also a great way to bond. And if kids prefer to fly solo, getting some audiobooks can be a gateway to reading adventures. Of course, movies based on books can be a motivation to read, depending on your kid, whether they read the book before or after seeing the movie. So find the path that will lead your kid to page-turning fun!
