Healthy Kids Tip: Reading for Pleasure

Model reading for pleasure. Talk with your children about what you are reading; make your enthusiasm for reading obvious to them. Explain how reading gives you pleasure while helping you learn about life and the world. Make family trips to the library and discuss why you picked the book you picked, and when you have finished reading it, discuss what you have learned.
