If you\u2019re not sure what a child likes to read, simply choose a book about a topic he or she enjoys, or a favorite fictional character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><b>Support organizations working to promote literacy.\u00a0<\/b>Many organizations you conduct regular business with may have selected literacy as a cause that they support. For example, the Toys for Tots\u00a0Literacy Program was developed by The UPS Store and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. This program, celebrating its 10th anniversary, provides books and educational resources to underserved communities. As part of the program,\u00a0<span class=\"xn-money\">$10,000<\/span>\u00a0worth of children\u2019s books will be donated to 10 nonprofit organizations in support of children\u2019s literacy in 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><b>Create traditions around reading.<\/b>\u00a0Making books part of family rituals can help instill a love of reading among kids. You might set aside an evening for a reading marathon or read a bedtime story every night. You can also find creative ways to get young readers involved, such as assigning one child each night to read that day\u2019s mail aloud to the family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><b>Attend events that shine a light on literacy.<\/b>\u00a0One of the year\u2019s most anticipated events is the annual Tournament of the Roses Rose Parade on New Year\u2019s Day, which will include The UPS Store\u2019s float titled \u201cBooks Keep Us On Our Toes\u201d which aims to inspire people to experience life through the joy of reading. After the parade, spectators can view the float up close, and the store will hand out 10,000 children\u2019s books \u2013 many of which were donated by Scholastic, the global children\u2019s publishing, education and media company \u2013 to parade-goers and post-event attendees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><b>Encourage kids to get hands-on with books.<\/b>\u00a0Reading isn\u2019t the only way to appreciate books; kids can get creative and make their own literature, too. Encourage them to write and illustrate their own stories they can share with the family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaching a child to appreciate reading not only promotes academic achievement, but it also opens opportunities for the imagination to soar and for kids to learn about topics beyond their wildest dreams.
