There's no official number, but there is a sensible guide. Minutes by age, why daily matters more than long, and what to do if your child won't read for that long.

What brain studies found, why books feel hard after screens, and how to help your child reach for a book more often.

Small, daily and tied to something that already happens. How to make reading part of your child's day, and how to restart when the routine slips.

What "I don't like reading" usually means, why so many children stop around nine or ten, and a step-by-step way back to books.

Why some children read slowly, how fast is typical at each age, when slow reading is worth checking, and practice that builds fluency without pressure.

Why a book trains focus in a way few other things do, how to build reading stamina step by step, and what to do when your child drifts off the page.

Why bribes and pressure backfire, what really makes children want to read, and how to reset when reading has become a battle.

Start from your child, not a list. Match books to their interests, check the level, avoid five common mistakes and help them build a taste of their own.

What each genre gives a child, which kind of child it tends to suit, and how to widen a reader who only wants one kind of book.
