How to Build Reading Habit in Kids

Abesh Chatterjee

Not every child is born loving books—but every child can learn to love reading. With small steps and a little consistency, you can turn reading into a fun habit.

1. Start Small

Begin with just 10 minutes a day. Pick a calm time—bedtime or right after school—and make it special.

2. Let Them Choose

Kids are more excited to read books they pick themselves. Offer a mix—comics, funny stories, or even picture-heavy books.

3. Make It Fun

Use story-based activity sheets, drawing games, or simple crafts to bring the book to life. When reading feels like play, it sticks.

4. Celebrate Every Step

Praise them for finishing a page, a chapter, or a full book. Little wins keep the excitement alive.

At JustBookify, we believe every child can become a reader—with the right story, at the right time.
