The early stages of learning how to read are very important. But it can be difficult to help your child and motivate them to learn. Here are some fun strategies to help your child learn how to read.
Tiny hands require tiny books! Get some great bite-sized books for your child to make it easier for them handle.
Make reading a performance! Instead of just reading regularly with your child, make some funny voices, throw in some dramatic pauses, or play some music. Make it a party!
Turn reading into a conversation. Ask engaging questions about the story or characters, and help your child relate their own experience with what they are reading.
Libraries can be just as exciting as toy stores for little minds. Make it a mission to explore the place and have your child pick out some books on their own to feel a sense of responsibility. Plus, it’s free!
Turn your house into a playground of words. Stick little notes on items around the house like “Door”, “Fridge”, etc. This will help your child associate words with objects and help their process.
Always encourage your child and show them praise! Finished a book or recognized a tricky word? High-five! Positive reinforcement will motivate them to do better!
So there you have it, a few neat tips to help turn your child into a bookworm! It’s all about making reading fun and encouraging them to challenge themselves. By using these techniques, you’ll be able to make reading a journey filled with giggles, discoveries, and a whole lot of high-fives. Happy reading!
