Five simple ways to build a reading habit at home

Children who read for pleasure do better in every subject. Here are five easy ideas for parents.

1. Read aloud for ten minutes every day, in Hindi or English.
2. Keep a few picture books where your child can reach them.
3. Let your child choose the story, even if it is the same one again.
4. Talk about the pictures and ask “what do you think happens next?”
5. Let your child see you reading too.

Small daily habits make a big difference.
