Reading is a very important habit that we can inculcate in our kids, because
“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader”
But , sometimes it becomes difficult to get that interest.There are few tools which as a parent we can use to make reading a real fun for the kids.
1.Choosing a right book initially– Picture books are a great way to start reading.A book with more pictures can be actually the one which can generate a lot of interest in kids.
2.Choosing from a variety of books- To get the understanding of all spheres , you should choose from different books like story books(moral stories, fiction, animal stories, detective stories) , science books related to animals, plants, with science related questions ,books on famous personalities and then books on countries and geography.
3.Setting a challenge-Make some charts for reading challenge, like a 20 minute daily reading award them a sticker and on collection of 10 stickers they get a prize,or something like this-
4.Maintain a log of books read– Like in summer or winter break, give them a challenge to complete 100 books . Give them a sheet to enter books names and award stickers.Once completed a 100 books challenge reward them.
5.Read together as family or a group of friends-Nothing motivates kids more than when reading in group.Read with them sometimes or call their friends for reading together with some snacks afterwards.
