  4. Getting Your Library Card • The quicker a child starts visiting a library and begins reading or is still being read to, the more likely they are to continue to want to read. • Your children should get their own library card as soon as possible and visit their public library and school library as often as possible. • How to get a library card

  5. Build Your Collection • When a child discovers a book or author they enjoy reading, find other books for them that would be similar. • Example: Choose a series of books that interests them • Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series • Fancy Nancy Series • Judy Moody Series • Harry Potter Series • Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series

  6. Build Your Collection • Books don’t have to cost a lot of money. Go to yard sales, swap meets, thrift stores, and online booksellers to look for interesting books that just so happen to be inexpensive. • Thriftbooks.com • Half.com • DollarDays Children’s Books

  7. Create Your Reading Space • Find a space in your house that is comfortable and quiet where reading can take place. • If your child does not have a space at home to work with, find a comfortable space in your local library.

  8. Invite Others to Your Library • Once you’ve created your “home library,” invite others to read with you and your kids. • Have your kids read to their siblings or parents or vice versa. • Host a family story night with your extended family. • Have friends bring their favorite book and have a book exchange party. • Read with a buddy/help a beginning reader

  9. Become a Life-long Reader • Challenge your child to read high-level and thought provoking books each and every day. • Reading improves vocabulary and enhances a child’s imagination. • Reading helps children become better writers. • Reading teaches lessons and can help build character. • KidsRead
