When they join the summer reading program, they will strive to do their best when there is a reward. 3. They pick up the importance of reading when they see adults and other children reading. The library is a great place to observe readers! Be sure they visit the library regularly. Make it a habit! 4. Make reading fun by using different voices, etc. This creative process lets them know that reading is fun. 5. By creating loving associations with books children learn and value them. 6. They like to spend memorable times with their parents and caring adults. Reading to children is great for the child and the adult.
