FROM ARTICLE:

You are probably the type of person who cannot avoid reading something every day. A book, magazine, billboard, or even the bottle of shampoo catches your eye, forcing you to give it a few minutes of attention. There are books or magazines all over your house; there might even be one or two in the bathroom. Though you are given strange looks and rude comments for it, you still read at the dinner table, even if you happen to be at a five-star restaurant. You cannot help but read, so you want to pass this on to children, grandchildren, or perhaps potential bibliophiles in your neighborhood.

The good news is that it is easy to give this gift to children. It requires time and effort, but there is plenty of reading involved; the best news you have heard all day!

* The best and most effective way to help children see that reading is great is to do it with them. Whether or not they are able to read, you should set a story hour. It can be bedtime, morning, or afternoon. You can have it anywhere from the city park to your kitchen table. Set aside this time every day for a story, usually of the child´s choosing, and watch the imagination unlock itself.

Part of this reading time can be used to make trips to the library or bookstore. Letting children pick out their own books or other reading materials - yes, even comic books - will encourage them to be part of what the family is doing. If you do not allow them to have a say in the reading material, it will seem too much like just another assigned reading, much like the ones at school. This is supposed to be fun for everybody, not a chore.
