Start an incentive or reward system for the child, where they get stickers, or get to watch their favorite show or get their favorite dessert after dinner.

Create a reading place, special for the child, either a small section in their room with a colorful, comfortable seat that they can recline on and read. Join them once in a while and have them read aloud, doing all the voices they can.

Have a small bookshelf in their room also, that is stocked with some of their favorite books. Also take them to the local library and help them to get a library card so they can check out other books they want to read.
