Q: What suggestion(s) do you have for parents of children who do not like to read?
Pam-Let
the kids have choice in what they read. They will be more motivated if
the subject is something they like or are interested in. Ensure that the
book is near the child’s reading level so he/she dos not get too
frustrated. Make a cozy, fun place for your child to read in, and have it
be used only for reading.
Stephanie-It can be tough to get them into reading. Find books on what they
are interested in. Make a blanket tent and read together, make it fun and they
will want to read with you!
Rachelle-With kids, kindergarten up, I like to find a funny chapter book and read it as a family. Books with great graphics help too! I also suggest reading something besides books. Try magazines, comics or graphic novels, or newsletters.
