Print Motivation is a child's interest in and enjoyment of books.  Children who enjoy books and reading at an early age will read more and be interested in reading as they get older. 
 

Develop your child’s print motivation by:

• Reading together often and making it fun

• Making sure you and your child are in good moods before reading

• Stopping the story when your child becomes tired or loses interest

• Modelling reading for pleasure by reading a book, magazine or newspaper that you enjoy
