Set aside a dedicated time each day for reading. This routine creates a strong habit of reading and helps children associate reading with being an enjoyable, everyday activity.
1
Reading to children enhances their vocabulary, understanding, and listening skills. Reading aloud promotes bonding and ensures that reading becomes a fun, shared activity that gives rise to a lifelong passion for books.
2
Select books that are at their level and appropriate for their age. This maintains their interest, prevents frustration, and gradually develops their confidence and skills to handle more challenging texts.
3
Introduce letter sound games and activities to reinforce their letter sound knowledge. This essential skill aids children in decoding unfamiliar words and reading more fluently and accurately.
4
Ask children to tell stories or recount what they have read. This enhances comprehension, memory, imagination, and enables them to connect with what they read even better.
5
Make visits to the library a fun family activity. It exposes children to a range of genres and topics so they can read around and select what actually captures their interest.
6
Encourage children to watch you reading books, newspapers, or magazines. Children often follow what they see, and seeing you enjoying reading inspires them to follow your suit.
