Building Reading Habits at Home (Malaysia 2026): 15 Minutes a Day

Reading habits aren’t built by motivation alone—they’re built by environment and routine. The best plan is boring, simple, and consistent.

The 15-minute routine

• Same time daily (after dinner or before bed)
• Parent reads 5 minutes, child reads 10 minutes (or vice versa)
• One question: “What was your favourite part?”

Busut tip

Use announcements to share weekly reading challenges or library reminders.
