[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are doing all the right things.  Keep up the frequent library trips as she gets older and let her pick whatever she wants- even if it is below her level or not very educational or what not.  You are fostering an interesting reading and at a young age, just having them being excited and enthusiastic about reading anything at all is the most important thing.[/quote]

let her read and rearead whatever she wants, don't say "it is too easy for you,"  
Display books in various places around the house with fronts facing out as much as possible.  Just put out some baskets that the books can face out- kitchen, bathroom, your office is he/she hangs with you there. Just pick different spots. This leads to WAY more pick ups. You can check out books that she hasnt' read or some favorites- mix it up.

Let your child pick out the books your read at tnight. You can keep reading aloud well into middle (and i know high schoolers who do books with parents some too- more current event, etc and it becoems more discussions, conversations.

If you go to the library, get books about things that relate to something - holiday, car trip, fave animal etc.[/quote]
