1. Let them read whatever they want.

5.Remember nonfiction.
6. Encourage reading comics & graphic novels.
7. If they're reading at inappropriate times (the dinner table, when they should be sleeping, etc...) don't make a huge deal out of it.
8. Make time for reading.
9. Read to them.
10. Read yourself.
