My son struggled to learn the basics of reading at first. To help, I would read aloud an entire book while we used the illustrations to predict what the next pages would say. Then we'd read the same book again only we'd alternate pages. Finally on the third reading he had confidence to read to me. My son is now an eighth grader and has found his favorite genre to be war stories. He now reads nightly mostly by himself but enjoys telling me about the book when he finishes it.

I am an inveterate bookworm and I'm always reading - because my kids like to copy my behavior they too are always grabbing a book, they'll even "read" the newspaper!

By giving a child an incentive, like a harmless sweet and candies.
