Frequently Asked Questions
How many books should I have in a home library for my child?
There's no magic number, but having a rotating selection of 20-30 books available at home allows for variety without overwhelming choices. Quality and engagement matter more than quantity - focus on books your child will want to read repeatedly.
Should I buy books above or below my child's reading level?
Include both in your collection. Books slightly below their level build confidence and fluency, while those at or slightly above their level provide appropriate challenges. Having books they can read independently alongside ones for shared reading creates a well-rounded experience.
Are digital books as effective as physical books for children?
Both formats have benefits. Physical books offer tactile experiences and reduce screen time, while digital books may include interactive features and are often more affordable. Many families find success using both formats depending on the situation and child's preferences.
How do I choose books for children who seem uninterested in reading?
Start with their existing interests - whether it's dinosaurs, sports, or art - and find books on those topics. Graphic novels, poetry, or books with interactive elements can also engage reluctant readers. Sometimes the right book just hasn't been discovered yet, so persistence and variety are key.
