10 Ways to Promote Reading
1. Read to your child. Begin with picture books and nursery rhymes. As your child grows older, read story books. Snuggling together with a book creates a lifelong love of reading.
2. Encourage a variety of reading: fiction, non-fiction, informational books, magazines, short stories, poems, picture books, puzzles, comics, how to books, etc.
3. Set an example. Have your child see you reading! Children imitate what they see you do.
4. Follow your child's interest. Discover topics your child likes and choose books accordingly.
5. Talk before, during, and after reading. What do you think this will be about? What will happen next? Has anything like this ever happened to you?
6. Ask your child to read to you. Ask pre-readers to tell you the story. You'll be amazed how accurately they can recite their favorite tales! Or let them make up a story as they look at the pictures.
7. Get a public library card. Schedule frequent trips to the library and participate in reading programs.
8. Encourage older children to read to their younger brothers and sisters. Older children enjoy showing off their skills to an admiring audience.
9. Set aside a regular time for reading in your family, independent of schoolwork: before lights out, just after dinner, or whatever fits into your household schedule. As little as 10 minutes of free reading a day can help improve your child's reading skills and habits.
10. Not all reading takes place between the covers of a book. What about reading menus, road signs, food labels, and sheet music? Take advantage of countless spur of the moment opportunities for reading during the course of your family's busy day!
All of us at Bateman would like to wish you and your families a very happy holiday and a safe and happy new year!
