1. Check that there is no underlying problem. Sometimes children don't like reading because they have trouble reading or don't understand what they are reading. Work on your students' reading skills and comprehension to rule out barriers between them and books.
2. Dramatize reading. Organizing a read-aloud or a short play are options to change the focus of the book and turn it into a shared emotion. You can even simply characterize yourselves as the characters to make the dramatization more believable. You can also be the one to read them an excerpt from a book or a story each day, so that you advance in the story and hook them into what happens, discovering the world of adventures that can be hidden in a book.
3. Don't make it an obligation. Reading has to be a fun and interesting activity, because only then will it become a habit. Encourage your students to read, to persevere with a book even if it's hard for them, but don't force them to read or finish a book they don't like, because it will have the opposite effect.

It's too short. Write at least 20 characters to explain it well
