Bringing the Joy of Reading into the Home Environment

How can we help our children fall in love with books without pressure, battles, or turning reading into another chore?

In this interactive and practical workshop, we’ll explore how families can nurture a lifelong love for reading at home. Together with other parents, you’ll reflect, share experiences, and explore hands-on ideas that make books part of everyday life.

This session is especially relevant for families with young children (ages 0–6), and we’ll look at:

• Why books matter—not just for learning, but for emotional and language development

• What makes a great children’s book, and how to choose stories that spark curiosity and joy

• How adult behavior influences reading habits, with realistic ways to model a reading culture at home

• How to engage young children in meaningful book conversations, even before they can read

• A guided exploration of recommended books, with tips on how to bring them to life in daily moments

This is not about creating perfect readers, it’s about opening the door to shared stories, wonder, and connection. Whether you already read every night or want to bring more books into your home, you’ll leave with fresh ideas and inspiration.
