By Dorothy Cox


Technology has introduced toys and communication gadgets that make children disinterested in their books. Video games and movies are among the things that children enjoy most instead of going through their books. It is therefore important that you encourage your child to read and provide an environment that emphasizes the importance of this practice. Here are some intriguing ways that you can get your child to enjoy reading:

Allow your child to pick the books that they want to read. For you to develop a culture where children enjoy to read, you have to allow them to first pick the books that they find interesting. When they have cultivated the interest in the practice, you can then introduce them to books that you think are good for them.

Another way in which to arouse the urge of books in your child is by taking them to areas where people read. For example you can visit a library with your child, when they see the people there studying, they may be curious to read from the same place. Likewise, it you have a group in which you have sessions that you read, it is good that you go with your child during such sessions.

Create time when it is compulsory for your child to read. It is hard to get children to read but when you set a time when it is compulsory for them to engage in the activity they will soon get interested. However, in some cases, the children may not read anyway. So it is important that you monitor them read and encourage them by continuously checking on their progress.

Children may at times see these studying routines as punishment. However you can change their mentality by joining them as they read. You can introduce a narration process after studying. They will want to participate in a narration process after studying. Tell them the interesting topics you read and ask them to tell you what they understand from their books.

In case you come along a movie that shows the details of a certain book, it is good you buy the movie for your child. However, you should encourage your child to read the book. You can do this by stating some interesting things that are mentioned in the book but omitted in the movie.
