Can you encourage reading?
Encouraging children to read for pleasure is something that is easier said than done. Living in a world where there is a plethora of other leisure activities for one to chose from, you might ask: ‘How can I really accomplish what seems to be a mammoth task?’
Don’t limit how, what (within reason of course, as a parent you have to use discernment) or where they read; all kinds of reading count! Graphic novels, magazine articles, websites, and eBooks on mobile devices, they should read what they enjoy. Explore ways to have fun with reading. For example: creating books, poems, songs, puppet shows, and computer art and stories, even acting out their favourite stories. Let your child’s interests and enthusiasm inspire and guide new activities!
Set aside a time for Family Reading. Turn off the TV. Have everyone in the family choose something to read (newspaper, book, magazine etc). Showing your kids that everyone reads for enjoyment is important to helping them build a love for reading.
Have an Adventurous day!
