It will take time to change a child's attitude about reading. As a parent, I recommend taking small positive steps. Try these baby steps to put your child on the path to become a life long reader.
1. Read to your child every night. If they loose interest after a few minutes stop.
2. Read road signs and labels on products. Let them see words are every where in our daily lives.
3. For older children 5 and up set a daily independent reading time 20 to 30 minutes.
4. Listen to your child reading aloud and ask them questions to see if they understood the words they read.
5. Model for your child, show them that reading is important even when they are a grown up.
