It wouldn't occur to me to use money as an incentive. This is probably because I have more time than money!

I would work with the local librarian to find exciting books that are somewhat age appropriate. Pirates? Magic? Whatever excites the imagination.

I'm a good reading role model as there are always books by the side of my bed. Right now my children are early readers, just starting out. So, rather than read together in the evening, I'll read while they work on their iPad or color or do a piece from their weekly homework pile. What's important is that they see reading as an essential part of daily life. It's more fun than brushing their teeth, although probably not as much fun as eating pancakes for breakfast!

Maybe linking a book to a movie? As adults we're used to watching a film after having read the book. Maybe treating your child to a movie (with popcorn or whatever fun snack) after finishing a book would be a nice complement to the book reading?

You have to find what works for your child.
