With the advent of TV, computer games, cell phones and tablets, books are fading into the background. And what can we say about children? Most kids take books as punishment. Here you read a few pages and you can go for a walk. Read first, and then the computer. Naturally, reading becomes a real challenge for children. But how to instill in kids a love of books?
Go to the bookstore together. Let your child choose the book he likes in the children's section. It doesn't matter by what criteria he will make his choice - an intriguing title or a bright and interesting cover. Believe me, in this way the child will feel his worth. And this book was not imposed on him, he chose it himself. Why not read it?
Set a great example for your child. Read as much as possible yourself! Today on the net you can find many useful lists, top books, compiled by reputable magazines and publishers. Tell your child about your favorite book, or one that you read on your own for the first time. Perhaps there is some funny life story connected with this book.
Sign up for a children's library. This will save you money on buying new books. In addition, today many libraries hold various master classes and activities for toddlers. The library is definitely a useful thing. When the child grows up, it will be much easier for him to independently prepare for lessons, tests and exams, using, for example, the reading room.
Be sure to read before bed. Make it a good habit for you. Several pages every evening. It is advisable to choose kind, light fairy tales so that the child has a place for rainbow fantasies, and not have nightmares.
When reading books to kids, you can imitate the voices of the book characters. In addition, you can stop reading at the most interesting place. The child will be curious to know what will happen to his favorite characters next. Perhaps the next day, without waiting for evening, he himself will pick up the unfinished book. Reading books, at times, is very addictive, it is impossible to tear yourself away. Therefore, for reading, you can choose a series of books - the continuation of stories with your favorite characters.
Books develop imagination and improve literacy. Books are like magic wands: they help to find ways out of existing life situations. It's never too late to start reading, but it is better to instill a love of reading from childhood. Why delay this wonderful moment?
