Encouraging Your Children to Read at Home
Reading for pleasure is a lifetime habit that begins in childhood, but it often requires an intentional effort on the part of parents to build a culture of reading within their family. Whether your child is a toddler or a teen, reading books can be a transformative experience for them, and it’s never too late—or too early—to start. Paula Preschlack, a published author and frequent speaker on parenting topics, shares her wisdom on fostering a culture of reading at home.
