Reading like all learning follows interest and motivation. Simply put, people will learn things that are interesting and pleasurable for them. So the secret to getting kids to read is to give them reading materials about the things that they like!
Notice that I said reading material and not books. Too many parents get hung up on wanting their kids to read only books. However, Books are not the only reading materials in the world at all. It is perfectly acceptable to get your kids interested in reading by giving them magazines about their hobbies and interests. In fact it is actually cheaper this way. Magazines are less expensive than books, have a more eye catching appeal than books and also have pictures that go along with the words. This is very important!
