Children usually feel excited about things like playing with their iPads, buying new toys, visiting fun dining spots and play time at their favourite play areas. When it comes to reading, not every child will embrace the idea of picking up a book and reading.
Experts agree that reading delivers numerous benefits, so how can we encourage our children to read?
1 Read together: The best way to get your child to read is by grabbing a book and spending time reading it together. You can snuggle under the cover with a yum sandwich or follow an audio book on a family trip to the mall.
2 Talk with your infant: They may not be able to have a full conversation with you, but rest assured, they’re listening and learning. Use short sentences and talk to your baby about your daily activities: what you’re doing, the environment and objects around you: this will help them develop their language skills early on and prepare them for reading.
3 Read several stories, every day. The more you introduce them to literature, the more reading will become a part of their life. This also helps expose them to different types of genres, in addition to enriching their vocabulary.
