[quote=Anonymous]For both kids, get lots of picture books, including ones without words. You can flip through silently or take turns narrating whatever story congress to your head. Barbara Lehman is one without, but your librarian can suggest others. Many picture books with words have more advanced stories than early readers, making them wonderful for read aloud. Also limit electronics at home. It's amazing how kids will gravitate towards books when they're the most entertaining option. Anything goes: comics, stories, sports, atlases, world records, joke books, pranks, Star Wars (especially enticing if they're interested in characters but not yet allowed to see the movie). One of my kids could read dessert cookbooks all day long. Another loves stuff like Captain Underpants. Neither would be my choice, but that's the beauty about it. They get full agency in the library.
