It's critical these kiddos find books they enjoy, so they will enjoy the time they spend reading. Here are a few tips...

1. Take them to the book store or library often.

2. Let them pick out their own books by age 5 they know what they like and hate.

3. It's okay if they abandon a book as long as they are finishing other books.

4. Look for book list for children and websites. Find books they would like and then let them decide if they like it.
