FIVE WAYS TO ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO LOVE BOOKS
(Extracted from Junior - Edition March 2012)
1 Tap into your child's interests. Whether it is football or horses, seek out books and magazines on her favourite subject.
2 Make it rewarding. Give books as a reward or a treat, rather than forcing your child to read, as this will help to make them appear worthwhile, exciting and something special to look forward to.
3 Read together. Find a book that interests you both. If your child is old enough to read, take turns to read a favourite book to each other.
4 Ban distractions. Set aside a quiet time when the television or the computer is switched off. This will highlight reading as an enjoyable alternative option.
5 Be a good role model. The best way to encourage reading is to let your child see you reading to show her that it is useful, fun, and a pleasurable way to spend her time.
