There is nothing more satisfying to a parent than seeing your child\u2019s nose in a book. Reading helps children academically,enhances their curiosity for learning and builds their knowledge regarding a host of topics.<\/p>\n

If you want to help foster your child\u2019s love of reading, consider these five tips from Maia Haag, the founder of I See Me!<\/p>\n

1. Keep Books Close<\/strong>
\nKeeping books within an arm\u2019s reach at all times will help remind you and your child to pull out a good book when there are lulls in the day. Perhaps you\u2019re waiting for an appointment or at a restaurant. These are opportune times to pull out a book and read together. Keep small books in your purse and your car, in addition to the books in your living room and in your child\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n

2. Turn It Off!<\/strong>
\nIf you turn on the TV or hand your child your iPhone every time he or she is \u201cbored,\u201d you may foster your child\u2019s love of electronics more than books. Instead, hand your child a book and encourage reading as your family\u2019s preferred method of entertainment. Help your child set reading goals, track time spent reading each day, and perhaps create a fun celebratory dinner or night out when the child reaches his or her reading goal for the week or month.<\/p>\n

3. Put Your Child in the Story<\/strong>
\nEvery child loves being the star of his or her own storybook. Personalized children\u2019s books<\/a> from I See Me! feature the child\u2019s name throughout the story, engaging a child in the story like never before. Having your kids play a role in the books they read will make them feel special and foster a love of reading.
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\n4. Be a Reading Role Model<\/strong>
\nBe a good role model for your child. Read in front of your child, discuss books with your child, and check out books from the library together. Show your child that you like to read different kinds of books and media, including magazines and newspapers. Your child is watching and learning from you, so be the kind of reader you want your child to be.
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\n5. Make Library Visits Essential<\/strong>
\nPrioritize a visit to the library once a week, allowing your child to check out new books so that reading stays exciting and interesting at all times. Encourage your child to select a variety of books to explore different people, places and adventures.<\/p>\n
