If a book makes a child laugh, that child will come back for another. Funny books for kids are often the best cure for reluctant readers. Try witty Akbar Birbal and Tenali Raman tales in story books, or read Tenali Raman stories free.
Humour also helps children get through longer chapters, since they keep reading to reach the next joke. Read the funniest bits aloud together.
Books that suit a child's age and interest make all the difference. If a book feels too hard, read it aloud together; if it feels too easy, enjoy it anyway. Pleasure comes first.
