If you want to know how to choose the right book for your child, then perhaps the following tips will help you. And if you introduce your child to them, then it will be easier for him to choose interesting books for himself.
The most important thing is that the book is interesting. It doesn't have to be artistic. If your child is very curious, then he may like reading encyclopedias. If your child has one hobby, for example, he likes airplanes, then get a book for him about airplanes. Be attentive to the interests of your child, because you play an important role in unleashing the talent and abilities of your child.
The next step is to determine the difficulty of the book to read. Have your son or daughter read the first two pages of the book aloud. Rate how slowly the child does it, how often he reads words incorrectly, how often he emphasizes the wrong syllables in words. If in 30-50% of cases, then the book is too complicated.
If there were no mistakes at all, then it was too easy. You need to find a book that is not only interesting and informative, but could also improve your reading skills.
Remember to ask your child's opinion about the book. Ask if he liked her, what new did he learn? Ask to retell its content. Try to look genuinely interested in the story. Your interest will help the child to better remember the content of the book, as well as to feel smarter and more confident, and these feelings are the best motivation for reading a new book.
