Humans are visual creatures. What is seen and read repeatedly will indirectly be embedded in the mind. So try to put inspirational pictures or pictures that match the child's preferences on the walls of their room.
Using the Story Telling Technique.
Parents can insert storytelling from stories taken from books. It doesn't have to be every day, just doing it consistently and alternately. For example, at this moment is the mother, the next opportunity is the father's turn, the next opportunity is the child. At the end of the story, parents can motivate children with motivational sentences such as "that's the importance of reading, books are a storehouse of knowledge also reading is the key."
By inviting and encouraging children to tell stories, children will continue to collect story material indirectly by reading books first.
Provide a Mini Library at Home.
To further attract children's interest in reading books, parents can provide any books at home in any form. For example are comics, magazines, newspapers, storybooks, motivational books, to general knowledge books. Build a  suitable simple library and neat book arrangement. There is no need to provide a specific room; parents can take advantage of the existing space. As an example, in the corner of their family room or private room.
