Secrets to creating reading habits for children
(Baonghean.vn) - Creating a reading habit for children is very difficult, especially in today's technological age. Children can learn or view many necessary issues on the Internet.
 |
| Reading helps increase knowledge; improves concentration and enhances thinking and analytical skills; expands vocabulary; improves memory; is a form of entertainment, reduces stress... |
 |
| If you want to create a reading habit for your children, at first you should only talk to them about famous role models. They are all people who like to read. For example, Bill Gates. |
 |
| Often read books with your child before bedtime. At first, read everything. Then gradually read together. Later, whenever you talk to your child about a topic that interests him, encourage him to find books on that topic so that both parents and child can discuss. |
 |
| Take your child to the bookstore to find books on that topic. Once you find a book, your child will read it and discuss it with you. If you want your child to read books, you should encourage him to read about issues that interest him. From there, your child will form the habit of reading books under the advice and guidance of his parents. |
 |
| Do not use the prohibition principle: For example, a child likes to read a comic book but the parents know that the story contains violent images or images that are not suitable for children. The best way is to analyze for the child to understand that the book is not suitable for them because the book contains images that are not suitable for their age. |
 |
| Then suggest to your child at the beginning of the book about the content that he/she is interested in. That is, appeal to his/her interests. Children often forget very quickly, especially when parents appeal to their interests. |
 |
| Occasionally (just occasionally, not too often), parents should also ask their children about the content of a book, and discuss it with them. That helps children feel like their parents are still with them and not letting them do whatever they want. If parents ignore it, many times their children will buy books but not read them. |
