5 tips to help your child fall in love with reading
1. Choose books that your chi ld is genuinely interested in.
This may sound obvious, but asking a child to read about robots if they love trains isn't going to have the same impact!
2. Pick a quiet and appropriate time to read
Creating a relaxed environment can really help to ease the pressure some children face when asked to practice their reading.
3. Talk about the story
It is important to make reading more than just about 'practicing reading'. Remember that books are stories! Talk about what is happening in the story 'what do you think this book is going to be about?' 'What do you think will happen next?' are great questions to engage your child in the storybook.
4. Identify tricky words first before you start reading
