Every child should have reading habit from very young age. Here are some tips you can raise a good reader.

-Read from day one and read daily. From the day your new born comes into your life, you can start raising a reader. Read/sing aloud the soothing rhymes to your kids in your own voice. If you make reading to your child part of your daily routine, he/she is likely to grow up a reader.

 -Let your kid see you reading. whether you love reading books or magazines or blogs or newspapers, let your child see you reading. Kids learn from what they observe and catch very quickly when they see others doing that same thing. your child is likely to catch your enthusiasm too.

-Create a reading space for your kids. It doesn't matter whether you have a big library in your home or a small bookshelves, the important thing is that you should have a reading space at your home or in your child's room.

-Take trips to library. Always take your little ones to library. It is a great place to explore new books and authors for free. Many libraries give chances to kids to develop reading habits and to see other kids doing the same.

-Let kids pick what to read. The trip to the library can be extra special when you give your child time to look around and see what catches his/her interest. He/She is more likely to want to read something he/she picked out himself. If you are concerned about him/her finding the right reading level or a suitable topic, just give him a section of books to choose from.

-Find reading moments in everyday life. Reading is not only about sitting down with a good book. It is a part of daily life too. As you go through your day, help your child keep an eye out for “reading moments.” They may be as simple as reading road signs, grocery lists or recipes.

-You can reread the favourite book. You may get tired of reading the same story over and over again. But it can help your child become a reader. Kids like to spot things they may have missed the first time in the story or pictures of their favourite books. Rereading also gives them a chance to connect the words they see on the page with the words they hear. Eventually, your child may start reading the book to you.

-Make sure that your children observe you reading on a regular basis. What you read is not important, when your child sees you reading recipes, magazines, newspapers, books, telephone directories, and other reading materials, it will reinforce the importance of reading. To stimulate reading, keep reading materials throughout the house. This will increase your child's access to books and printed material.

-Help them understand that reading does not only happen at school, it can happen anywhere. Studies suggest that learners who read outside of school are more successful readers and students. If you cannot read easily, talk about the pictures in books, magazines, and newspapers with your child. It is important for your child to observe your efforts in acquiring reading abilities. In addition, ask them to read aloud to you or to tell you about what they have read in their own words.

-Encourage your children to read in their native language. If reading skills are developed in the native language they will transfer into English. Developing reading skills in their native language will not hinder children's ability to read in English — it will help.

-Do not allow your kids to watch television until they have done their daily reading.
As your child becomes a better reader, talk about what he/she is reading. When your child finishes a new story or reading assignment, discuss the main ideas, new words and concepts, and your child's favourite section. This will help strengthen your child's reading comprehension skills.
