Of course, you know the value of reading aloud to a child - they pick up on your tone, excitement and style when you read to them. Don't be afraid to get excited when you're reading - children learn from everything around them and need great examples!
In addition to reading aloud to your child, model for your child your own reading for pleasure. Whether it is a book, ebook, magazine, newspaper - whatever you want - let them see that reading is fun for all! They shouldn't grow up thinking that reading only has a place in school and no value for entertainment ... find what form of the written word entertains YOU and spend some companionable quiet time with your family hanging out and reading!
