Have a Laugh!
Reading is the gift that keeps on giving. If you want to learn more about a specific animal or a significant historical event, there’s a book on it. If you want to lose yourself in a mystical world or take on the role of a detective trying to solve a complex case, books are available that will keep you entertained. While anyone can find books that appeal to every interest, many children will never discover the wonders of reading. Some kids might not have someone in their lives who instills a love of reading in them, while others don’t have someone to take them to a public library or can’t afford to buy new books whenever they need something new to read. November is National Family Literacy Month, and there’s no better time to sit down with your kids, crack open a book, and get them excited about books. Below, you’ll find a couple of the best ways to get your kids invested in reading!

This is a great way to build your child’s home library while introducing them to many new topics. To enroll your child or learn more about the program, check out their website, ImaginationLibrary.com . Your Local Library Local libraries can be utopias for avid readers and book lovers. Libraries house books appropriate for any age level.
