![Sometimes our kid doesn’t want to read. It's probably fine to have a break, now and then. But we do worry. Just a tiny bit. So we've evolved some work arounds to encourage him to use his eyeballs for good things, which in our world, means reading.
What are your tips?

How to encourage a reluctant reader to pick up a book.
1. Try something other than a chapter book or typical kids fiction. We've tried magazines, comics, fact books.
2. You read. Pick up wherever they're up to and read a few pages. Hopefully they'll get hooked and take it from there.
3. Get thee to a library! So much choice. Our kid usually manages to find something bearable to read
4. Revisit favourite picture books. Something you've read many times takes on new meaning as they grow
5. Diversify your bookshelf. Show them themselves in a book. And show them the wonderful world out there.]](https://www.parakeetbooks.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
