The importance of reading simply can’t be overstated. Reading helps children in all school subjects. More important, it is the key to lifelong learning.
Here are some tips on how to help your child become a reader.
1. Start early. When your child is still a baby, reading aloud to him should become part of your daily routine*.
2, Make sure that your home has lots of reading materials that are appropriate for your child. Keep books, magazines and newspapers in the house. Reading materials don’t have to be new or expensive
3,Set aside quiet time for family reading. Some families even enjoy reading aloud to each other (Do You Remember Hasti Vachaspati Project) with each family member choosing a book, story, poem or article to read to the others.
4.Talk with Your Child Talking and listening play major roles in children’s school success.
children who don’t hear a lot of talk and who aren’t encouraged to talk themselves often have problems learning to read,
5Think of talking with your child as being like a tennis game with words—instead of a ball—bouncing back and forth.
6.*As you shop in a store, talk with your child about prices, differences in brands and how to pick out good vegetables and fruit.
7.As you fix a sink or repair a broken table, ask your child to hand you the tools that you name. Talk with her about each step you take to complete the repair. Tell her what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
8.Demonstrate for him how to be a good listener: When your child talks to you, stop what you’re doing and pay attention.
9.Monitor Homework Let your child know that you think education is important and so homework has to be done.
10. Ask her/him for suggestions about how you should do something. ( howsoever young the child is). As you watch TV together, talk with your child about the background of the characters, which ones she/he likes
