How to Raise a Reader

Why reading is your child’s superpower
A practical, expert guide to helping children of all ages learn to love reading

Want to help your child learn to love reading, but no idea where to start? This book will guide you every step of the way.

We are living through a reading crisis. Fewer children are enjoying books than ever before. The National Literacy Trust says reading for pleasure is at its lowest level in 20 years, and by the age of 18, only one in three still enjoy it. In the US, only 14% of children read for fun most days. This matters. Reading isn't just about school results. It shapes confidence, wellbeing, friendships, and even future opportunities.

And while school is where reading is, home is where the real passion for books can be ignited.

But today's parents all face the same questions: When should I start? How do I help without pushing? What if my child doesn't enjoy books? This book is for them. It's for the mum holding her newborn and wondering when to begin, for the grandparent of a four-year-old coming over to visit them at home with their first phonics book, and for the dad of a teenager who seems to have drifted away from books.

Reading for pleasure is one of the most important predictor's of a child's success, and this book will show you how to help your child become not just able to read, but a reader.
