Kids Books Support Reading.
Finally, we all know that reading is fundamental to the development of children. Countless research shows the links between good reading skills from an early age and future success in life. However, we also know it can be hard to get children really excited by books given the many other exciting leisure time activities fighting for their attention. Obviously having books, they like is a great start but here are a few terrific tips for nurturing your child’s interest in reading:
First: Reading should be a shared experience between parent and child in order to ensure a love of books from an early age.
Second: Ensure your child sees you reading regularly whether it’s a book, a newspaper or a magazine as it will instil a love of reading for pleasure.
Third: Let your child help you choose the books you read together. If your child doesn’t like a book, don’t force him or her to read it. Let them put it down and come back to it after reading something else.
Fifth: Read in a place that’s comfortable for both you and your child. during and after reading a book talk about it and negotiate and take time to discuss the book in order to ensure a greater understanding.
