ENCOURAGE READING
One of the most neglected
Educational snag in Summer Vacation and Schools is Lack of Reading Habit. Ask
most of the kids and they seldom prefer Reading as a hobby. No wonder, most of the
childs school day is devoted to reading-skills instructions yet, words remain
bookish and many kids can hardly read any other book other than the school Text. This is a
major drawback, which is overlooked by many Educators and parents, which becomes a serious
stumbling block in the development of a child in the later stage.There are lot
of distractions out there with Television programs, computers, activities and
entertainment fun. If reading is not encouraged, kids won't develop the vocabulary, the
skills and ease of reading. Fluency creeps out. And they cannot communicate! Once they
lose interest in reading, it's hard to get them back to motivate to read. They can't read
fast and face climbing mountains when they peek to higher classes. Relationship between
alphabet and speech sounds needs to be balance with phonic learning in beginning and than
clicking to whole language, literature reading. Conversational skills come along with word
power, quite naturally! Here are a few ideas to motivate and encourage Reading Habits in
your home whether the child is toddler or adolescent. |
Books
are the windows through which the soul looks out |
When I
am dead, I hope it may be said: "His sins were scarlet but his books were read!" |
Books
are keys to wisdom; gates to the land of pleasure; Books are path that upward lead; Books
are friends; Come, Let us read:-) |

Warning
Signals!!!
Kids
normally hang on to activities they feel ease at. Mostly common is Drawing & coloring.
Dancing, playing, computing, singing etc. are other activities that draw their attention.
Leaving aside exceptions, most of the kids wriggle out of Reading habits and evade any new
material other than school lessons. They lack the confidence as their vocabulary is
limited and any new word they come across, they fail to pronounce or understand the
meaning too. Moreover, they are slow and their patience wane within minutes as kids are
unable to stick to a particular activity for a long time. Hence, reading habits are not
formed if kids are not mold in right manner. Gone are the days of the Library reading
class or writing a Book review. When reading is on back seat, writing a review of the book
is far away hobby kids can adopt. They are not able to write in their own words except for
the mugged up lesson and answers they learn at school. Kids hate to read for a variety of
reasons. Reading just isn't their second nature. Sometimes kids are emotionally turned-off
whereas at times, they might be facing learning disorders. When kids draw the line for
reading, know the signs of Reading Problems:
