How do you encourage your children to pick up reading?

A few years from now I remember my kids making me drive to the nearby library every alternate day. In a just 2 months time they had finished reading all the books for their age group. Then my spouse started buying silly toys for them. And alas! They stopped reading books. Suddenly reading became “boring”! In comparison to the apps and games, reading does not give you instant rewards such as points or stars which they are so used to now.

If you have any idea that has worked for you in making your children read, do post a comment below.

I will do an article on all the ideas I get here.
