For some cultures, reading for pleasure is a relatively new phenomenon. and was enjoying the process of creating a “love of reading” culture at home. It is certain that great parent-child discussions are happening in the home because of this reading culture. Developing your child’s habit of reading for pleasure can be quite tricky, especially if they think reading is not fun! Most likely you already know whether your child enjoys being read to or reads silently. So what to do if they don’t? Here are a few ideas that might help your family become a reading family. Caution: All ideas come with a dose of patience, persistence, and consistency.

Read poetry, sing songs, or read the same book over and over. They will be able to recite that book before you can. You are building language skills, patterns, rhythm, and wonderful brain stimulation. We also practice letters, numbers, and spelling with shaving cream on the walls in the tub. Bathrooms are wonderful teaching environments. Create special reading places in your home where only reading can happen. We had a wonderful pre-k teacher who brought in a plastic swimming pool to classroom and filled it with books.

They will begin telling stories about you from their memories. At least you can correct their erroneous recounts! Becoming a reading family may take some persistence, but the rewards are “priceless”!

The Readers Club, Pakistan’s first and only online book rental service, was launched in June 2009 by two friends, Jawad Yousuf and Usman Siddiqui. On their return from the US after completing their education eight years ago, they realised that the reading culture that once thrived in the country was no more.

They spent their time brainstorming how one could revive it, but their own businesses demanded a lot of their time and it was not until much later that they were able to come up with a plan of action and implement it. Initially they had thought of establishing a book-sharing platform but since that wasn’t logistically possible, they decided to create a book rental service. They realised people were not reluctant to read, but access to books was a problem. The most common complaint was that books were too expensive to purchase, especially the newest ones. So they decided to structure their product in a way that would address both the issues of affordability and interest.
