In a world that is slowly but surely turning away from books & getting glued to monitors or tv screens, the importance of developing a passion for reading cannot be overlooked. Reading is a habit & ought to be established when the child is comparatively young. What are you able to do to foster this habit?
Enroll your child for reading classes:
There is a lot of well structured after school reading classes that aim to draw the children to books. They help children with diction, idioms & phrases. For young children, these classes can be fun with animated characters & pics. Illustrated picture books, rhymes, daft songs & pretend tales all attract the young child. Use creativity to capture the kid's vivid imagination.
Pique your kid's interest:
If your child has a favourite character, pick a series of books that features this character. For my son, it was Spiderman. Thanks to friendly neighborhood spidey, my son latched on to comics early in his childhood.
Build a home-library:
A skill like reading cannot be learnt in isolation. Do not leave all the hard work to the after school program. Pick up books that you think your child will like. The Web is & a rich resource of reading games that will attract small children to the fine art of reading.
