Reading is so important for your child - Continued

Books that might interest kids the most are about animals, adventures, scary stories, stories about princesses and so much more that you can choose from.

Keep books on the shelves where the play station or x box games are kept.  Even if these are magazines about the games that they play on the television or on the computer, they are going to want to read through these magazines when they realize how much information is found in them –yet they are still going to be reading.

Use books stacks on their dresser for when they are not tired at night but would like something else to do.  Reading a book in bed was one of the great past times at one point in history – they will be learning while they are waiting on getting tired at the same time.

Teach your child to give just one book to someone at Christmas time.  When children learn that someone else just loves books, they are going to realize that books must have something interesting in them.  Keep a bookshelf no matter how small in the living room, in the playroom and in the bedroom so that these books can add charm and color to every room in the home.

When you have a little corner of the room that is empty, create a pretty bookshelf that is going to express that room.  In the kitchen a shelf with a few cookbooks, in the playroom a shelf with a few books about baseball cards or dolls, or in the bedroom a book shelf where books about fantasy or cartoon for the child that age – they are going to be appreciated while adding so much to the space and décor of a room.
