special Feature Pick interesting topics Find out what your child is interested in and check out books on that topic. My son became curious about volcanoes so we headed to the library and checked out multiple books on volcanoes. When we returned home he promptly started reading about them and writing down interesting facts in his journal. You can also encourage your child to try different genres to see what they prefer. Nonfiction, historical fiction, mysteries, graphic novels, or classic literature - once kids find their niche, they will most likely be more excited about reading. 31
