00:00How do I help my child who does not seem to like books love reading?
00:04Here are five simple research-backed tips from a Smart Parenting article by Kitty Elicay.
00:09First, let them choose their own books.
00:11Children are more likely to finish books they've picked out themselves.
00:15Two, don't judge genres.
00:18Comics, graphic novels, non-fiction.
00:21Let them read what appeals to them.
00:23Three, read aloud to your children even when they can already read.
00:27It builds connection, introduces new vocabulary, and opens discussions.
00:33Four, be a reading role model.
00:35Show your own love for books.
00:37Kids emulate what they see.
00:40And five, encourage diversity in reading different authors, cultures, perspectives
00:44to broaden their curiosity and empathy.
00:48If you do these consistently, you won't just raise a reader,
00:51you'll raise someone who loves reading.
