Reading Habits

A reading habit doesn't come from one great book. It comes from a small routine repeated every day. This category holds practical guides to help families build that routine: read-aloud techniques, what to look for when choosing a book, reading logs, a weekend family reading plan and bedtime reading.

If your child doesn't want to read, start there; every step works at home in a few minutes. For short books that fit the routine, see bedtime stories.
