In a world that is slowly but surely turning away from books and getting glued to monitors or television screens, the importance of developing a passion for reading cannot be overlooked. Reading is a habit and should be established when the child is relatively young. What can you do to foster this habit?Enroll your child for reading classes:
There are many well structured after school reading classes that aim to draw the children to books. They help kids with diction, idioms and phrases. For young children, these classes can be fun with animated characters and pictures. Illustrated picture books, rhymes, silly songs and pretend stories all attract the young child. Use creativity to capture the child's vivid imagination.
Pique your child's interest:
If your child has a favorite character, pick a series of books that features this character. For my son, it was Spiderman. Thanks to friendly neighborhood spidey, my son latched on to comics fairly early in his childhood.
Build a home-library:
A skill like reading cannot be learnt in isolation. Do not leave all the hard work to the after school program. Pick up books that you think your child will like. The Internet is also a rich resource of reading games that will attract little children to the fine art of reading.

I love this post... it is sooo true! I've put much effort into getting my son to love reading. Since he was about 7 months old, I made it a nightly ritual (and I say that because it was a sacred way for me to bond with my baby) to read to him. We started with Mark Teague's "How Does a Dinosaur Say Goodnight" and that is still one of his favorites to this day. He is now five years old and is one of the better readers in his class. I'm so proud of him! Kudos on the post.
Thank You Vanessa i hope this post can bring you some idea n also can motivated other parent like you too
