Plus, board books are tasty for teething infants! As children grow, continue reading to them and make books accessible by keeping them in various areas - not only bookshelves, but also toy boxes, on the child's dresser, in the playroom, etc. Children are more likely to read when they have easy access to books. Cultivate your child's interest in books by tailoring book choices to the child's passions. If your son enjoys trucks and dinosaurs, then try to check out or purchase those types of books. If your daughter loves dolphins or princesses, then those are fine story subjects. Reading should never be interpreted as work, punishment or drudgery, and when you lead by example - picking up a book and reading in front of your child - then he's more likely to enjoy and love reading throughout his lifetime.
