5 Ways To Encourage Your Kid Read Books

Looking for a way to make your child read? It's simple and easy, all you need is spending some time with them. The best way to get your child to enjoy reading is by reading with them at home. When you read with your child, your child sees how much fun reading can be. This makes your child want to read on their own too!!!


Help your kid love books by modelling good reading behaviour.



Tips to make your child read 

  1. Make a reading room.

    Set up a dedicated room in your child's favourite corner for them to read. Let your child choose his/her own comfortable reading space. Make it fun by getting them a bean bag chair, some amusing accessories, and a selection of books.

  2. Encourage them to read at home.

    Show your kids that reading is not limited to books. Teach your child to read by helping them practise reading newspapers, movie titles, road signs, instructions, comic books and more.

  3. Set a good example.

    Read aloud to your child and set an example for them. When your child observes you reading books, magazines, and newspapers, they will learn the value of reading. Invite your kid to come along with their own favourite book and make it interesting.

  4.  Link it with your daily life.

    Help your child in implementing the lessons they are reading into their daily lives. Your child's interest in reading will increase if you can make links between books and their personal experiences in daily life.

  5. Continue reading the materials.

    Make books and other reading materials easily accessible to your child at home. This enables him or her to understand that reading can occur anywhere and not just at school.

  6. Check Out the library in your locality.

    You can visit a library with your child and make reading enjoyable. Make the most of your child's library experience by allowing him or her to select a book that inspires their interest.

  7. Discuss the books that your kids are reading.

    Once your child has finished a book, have a conversation with them about it and find out what their favourite part was. This will improve your child's understanding abilities and turn reading into a fun family pastime.

    If your child is having trouble reading and becoming upset, step back and observe the areas in which he or she is having trouble. Discuss the matter with his or her teacher and take swift action to resolve it.


  9. Every night, read.

    Include reading in your child's bedtime routine. Your child will learn to relate reading with relaxation as a result of this habit.
