Simple Tips on Reading • Have lots of books. • Buy books at garage sales and flea markets. • Take your children regularly to the library. • Read books aloud, including comic books and poetry. • Use your special talents to make reading come alive for your children. For example, give each character in the story a different voice or accent. • Teach children to read to themselves. • Have a special book-looking-at or story time on a regular basis. • Treat your child as a reader; sooner or later he’ll be one. • Make books part of the social scene (i.e., when friends come over, suggest reading stories or reading games). • One way to help your children form a habit of reading, without trying to regiment their reading, is by encouraging series books. • Provide reading material that is easy and fun for children. You want them to have the experience of effortlessly breezing through books. • Increase your child’s self-confidence by treating him as a reading expert in his field. Ask your son’s opinion about the books he’s reading. Take his opinion seriously. • Encourage daily reading by having irresistible reading material wherever your children spend a lot of time — in the kitchen, in their bedrooms, in the den.
