My child doesn't want to read

Sometimes a child hasn't found the right story yet. Other times, reading is tiring or difficult. Let's understand what's getting in the way and choose where to start.

They say there are too many pages.

Reading difficulty

A thick book can seem like a mountain to climb. Airy pages, large illustrations, and short chapters make the beginning easier.

What to try

  • Look for hybrid formats: short text, large illustrations, airy pages.
  • Set small goals: one chapter, not one book.
  • Short series give a sense of rapid progress.
