How to motivate children to read by themselves?

At this age, children are ready to learn to read. How did you motivate your child to read? How did you develop your child's interest in reading by themselves rather than asking you to read?

Please share the techniques and tips that worked for you.

Read good books to your kids everyday..have variety of book ..stories,environmental education, civilizations (my kid loves Egyptian civilization) etc etc..

Once you do this ,kid will be interested in books..then start with small books which they can read themselves..I would recommend Big Cat series..once they are through they can move on to Pepper ,bubbles,Bruno series..which is about kid adventures which they will surely like...At the same time ,dont forget to read other books to your kid so that they dont feel the stress of reading themself...

This is working with my kid who is 5 yrs..
