I have kids, my older is 11 and reads almost whenever she can. She loves to read herself to sleep at night. We've taken her to the library since she was a baby where we'd find new baby books to read to her. Over time, we stopped picking out books for her and let her wander the isles, picking whatever seemed interesting to her. She usually chooses a wide assortment of things from comics to YA fiction. My son is much more interested in screens, but he still reads a lot. Whenever we restrict the screens his next default is to read. We read a lot to both of them as infants & toddlers. We have a couple bookshelves worth of books in the house, but honestly they spend almost their whole reading time on new-to-them library books. We've hit the library checkout limit pretty much every time we go! And it's no waste - every book is returned read. > if you have a kid who doesn't have an existing strong reading habit, how do you find books they'd be interested in? I'd start by taking them to the library and letting them explore. Chances are they'll find something that interests them!
