Introduction:
In an age dominated by screens and digital distractions, nurturing a love for reading in children has become more important than ever. Reading is not just about literacy—it opens the door to imagination, empathy, curiosity, and lifelong learning. At Book Treasury, we believe that every child deserves access to great stories and engaging books that spark their imagination.
But how do you get your child genuinely excited about reading?
Let’s explore practical and fun ways to cultivate a strong reading habit in kids—from toddlers to teens.
1. Start Early with Boardbooks
Even before children can speak, introducing books to them can help in brain development, language skills, and emotional bonding.
Try this:
- Choose interactive boardbooks with textures, flaps, and bold illustrations.
- Read aloud to your baby while pointing at pictures.
- Keep sessions short, fun, and consistent.

2. Create a Daily Reading Routine
Children thrive on routine. By setting a fixed time every day—like bedtime or post-lunch—you’re associating reading with comfort and calm.
Tips:
- Start with 10-15 minutes daily and gradually increase.
- Make it a bonding time instead of a chore.
- Let the child turn the pages or hold the book themselves.
3. Let Them Choose Their Books
Ownership builds interest. When kids are allowed to pick what they want to read, they’re more likely to be excited about it.
Options to offer:
- Comics
- Picture story books
- Colouring & activity books
- Mythology stories in child-friendly language

4. Make Reading Interactive
Not all reading has to be silent and still. Especially for younger children, the more senses you engage, the better the learning.
Ideas:
- Act out stories with voices and expressions
- Use puppets or toys
- Ask questions like “What do you think happens next?”
Pro Tip: Activity books like mazes, spot-the-difference, and colouring titles also help improve focus and comprehension.
5. Build a Reading-Friendly Environment
Your surroundings matter. A cozy reading nook with cushions, shelves, and good lighting can make a big difference.
Quick Setup Tips:
- Add a low shelf or basket for easy book access
- Rotate books every few weeks to keep things fresh
- Include books in play areas
6. Be a Reading Role Model
Children imitate what they see. If you want them to read, let them see you reading too—whether it’s a novel, magazine, or even a cookbook!
7. Join a Reading Community
If your child sees other kids reading, they’re more likely to join in. Look for:
- Online story sessions
- Book clubs for children
- Library events or book fairs

Bonus Tip: Use Rewards (Sometimes)
While the ultimate goal is intrinsic motivation, small incentives like stickers or a “Reading Star Chart” can encourage younger kids.
