As a children's book author and the parent of a (former) reluctant reader, I've learned one thing is important above all else when getting your kids to fall in love with reading: you've got to be proactive. Grab that young bull by the horns and get him reading by any means necessary! Make it fun, of course, but make it WORK as well.
To help get you started - and create a household full of lifelong readers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I offer you the following easy-to-implement tips for success!
1. Be a reading role model. You are your child's hero. He wants to emulate you in every way possible. So when your child sees you reading at home, he is that much more likely to pick up the habit himself. In this regard, turning your child into a great reader is as easy as catching up on all your favorite books and magazines.
2. Spend more time at the book store. Make a weekly sojourn to your favorite bookstore. And don't just get in and get out. Take your time. Make a Saturday morning event out of it. The major chain bookstores encourage loitering. So head on out to Borders or B&N, grab a cup of coffee and some shot chocolate (they're going to ask for a sweet roll or something, so take this opportunity to use that as an "ethical bribe" to spend more time in the book section than the music section), and spend an hour or two poring through the thousands of books and magazines in the store. It's a simple, powerful bonding experience and one that promotes a love of reading to boot!
3. Get involved at the school library. Every librarian is grateful for help from volunteers. Whether it's coming in to read to the kids, or just helping to organize the stacks, your child will see your level of commitment to the library and say, "Hmm. This place MUST be cool if Mom and Dad are hanging out here!"
4. Use books with strong visuals. Children, especially boys, respond to stories with strong visual elements [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Compelling pictures make them want to know more about the words that accompany the images. I can't emphasize this point enough.
5. Read to your child every day. The most obvious point is also the most powerful. Reading to a child is the single most effective way to build a love of books. Set aside time to read with your kids. Make it a regular occurrence at a given time every day. It's good for you and even better for them! Essentially what this does is anchor the experience of reading with the emotion of love. It's the best gift you can give your child.
6. Keep the TV watching to a minimum. Another seemingly obvious point, but television watching is a passive exercise that does little to help build a child's reading skills. Click off the TV and grab a book. Then head for the couch with your child [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
7. Move from the book to the real world. If you read a book about dinosaurs, why not accompany it with a trip down to your local natural history museum? The more you make reading "come alive", the more your child will hunger for more.
8. Make a competition out of it. Play games at home with your kids to get them to read more. Make a chart and keep a running total of how many books your child reads each week, then see if you can do more next time.
9. Offer more incentives. Some kids respond better when there is a reward involved. Without making reading seem like a daunting chore, offer up a treat or two after the child does his reading for the day.
10. Connect reading with the things they love. If your child loves baseball or pirates, then get him books about baseball and pirates. Non-fiction books are just as good as fictional stories when it comes to building a lifelong love of reading.
11. Act it out. Sing a song. Young children (especially boys) acquire knowledge more effectively when stimulated by music and movement. So act out the stories. Sing a song when you read. Get up and do a dance. Heck, it's in the privacy of your own home
