A child who has learned to read before school adapts to the curriculum much faster after entering it. But what if he is not interested in learning to read?
Instructions
Step 1
Above all, never force your child to learn to read and write. Children are the least willing to take on what they are forced to do. Moreover, you can go for a trick: as if by chance tell someone from the family in front of a child that doctors do not recommend teaching children to read before school, because this deteriorates vision. The forbidden fruit is sweet, and the little one may immediately want to violate the doctor's advice.
Step 2
If this does not work, tell your child that literacy is an additional form of freedom. Being literate yourself, it is not necessary to involve parents and relatives in reading books, to interfere with them when they are busy. Tell the kid a poem by Valentin Berestov "How good to be able to read" - it expresses this idea in the best way possible in a form that is understandable for children.
Step 3
Sometimes children start playing computer games before they learn to read and write. This is a bad habit, but an experienced parent will benefit from and for the child. Ask your child if he knows what the mysterious inscriptions that appear on the screen during the game mean, and if he wants to know. Tell him that in the future he will not only have to play on the computer, but also work (you can add: "like a dad"), that it is very interesting, but without literacy it is impossible. You can also use programs for teaching literacy in a playful way, or purchase a special children's computer that has appropriate exercises.
Step 4
If a child shows interest in ciphers, secrets, this can also be used to awaken his interest in reading. Invite him to play "scout" - to learn to solve the "code" (in fact - a regular text). He will be much more eager to study under your guidance "secret signs" - ordinary letters, to learn how to put words and phrases out of them.
Step 5
An older brother, who is already studying physics and chemistry at school, can draw the child's attention to the fact that parents do not read aloud to him anything but long-boring fairy tales, ask him if he wants to read a textbook for high school students, learn from him about physical and chemical experiments, it's so interesting! If the answer is yes, the brother himself can start teaching the child to read and write.
