Encourage a Child Who Is Reluctant to Read
A child who resists reading may need a different format, a more relevant topic, or less pressure around the moment.
A small way to begin
Offer comics, wordless picture books, audio-supported reading, or a topic they already love. Reading takes many forms and can begin with interest.
Make it your own
Avoid comparisons with siblings or classmates. Keep invitations low-pressure and let a positive shared experience come before reading goals.
