How to instill a love of reading for a child

The book is the thing that can awaken fantasy, entertain, educate and teach. In addition, the book can be useful from a practical point of view. If a person reads books, he can learn new words, which means he will increase his literacy level. Parents very often complain that now children almost do not read, they do not like it - they prefer to watch TV. Therefore, the question of how to instill a child's love of reading becomes quite relevant.

It is worth noting that often the most popular and well-known films are shot by books. For example, such beloved books as "The Lord of the Rings", "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer" are screened. However, no matter how well the film was shot, it will not replace the pleasure of reading the book.

In order for a child to instill a love of reading, parents should love themselves to read. If neither mother nor dad reads, and while telling the child that this is necessary and useful, then it is unlikely that the suggestion will at least somehow work. Hence we can conclude - in the family should read everything.

If a child gets acquainted with books at a school in which reading is an obligatory process, then it is unlikely that it will bring him pleasure if from a young age the child "did not become friends" with books. Therefore, it is important that the child's love of reading begins to be instilled from an early age. You can start with special soft books that contain simple pictures, and then move on to more complex books. If you pick up the book correctly and deal with the child all the time, then the kid will very quickly love reading.

As soon as the child has learned to read, it is not worth it to constantly pull back and correct for incorrectly pronounced words. Thus, the baby can be discouraged from reading for a long time.

The reading process should bring only positive emotions. For example, a mother can simultaneously read and play with a child, clearly showing the contents of the book. If, for example, a fairy tale about a kolobok or turnip is read, then it is possible to offer the child to show all the characters and all the actions that are described in the book. A child with a mother can read a book by roles, then the child will feel like a real actor. Also, as an option, parents can read a fairy tale for the child at night.

You can also reward the child for reading. If the child reads a given amount of text, he will be able to obtain any privileges agreed in advance. Thus, you can greatly increase the motivation to read books.

You can not force to read the book that the child does not like. Therefore, with an adult child books can be bought together. It is necessary to make the trip to the bookstore a pleasant and long-awaited event. Very often parents of school-aged children are afraid that children, if they choose books themselves, will take the "wrong" book and therefore insist on books that they choose themselves. Perhaps, we should compromise: the child will choose one book at his discretion, and the second will be read at the choice of the parents.

The child should have a desire to read - it is impossible to instill love for reading by force. Mom must find a way to attract the child by reading, and not to force him to read. Parents of children, whose children can read but do not want, use the following method. Mom or grandmother reads the book to the child, and when it comes to the most interesting place - stops, saying that she has a lot of urgent matters. The baby does not have a choice, if the child really wants to know what will happen next, he needs to finish reading the book himself.

There is another method of inducing the child to read - the method of the child psychologist Iskra Daunis. One day the child wakes up and notices under the pillow a letter from the fairy-tale hero, in which he tells the baby that he wants to be friends with him and that he has a gift for him. The kid runs to look for a gift and finds it. The next morning the child will again discover under the pillow a letter in which the hero informs that he wanted to leave his friend tickets for the zoo, but saw that he did not behave very well. Therefore, the trip to the zoo is postponed. Every day, letters should be longer, and they will be read faster. The child will be happy to read the letters, because this process is associated with something exciting and interesting.
