Developing Reading Habits

Developing reading habits should be a joyful journey for them. Reading book is not only a source of entertainment but it is also a source of abundant knowledge and information to  children. Once the kids, inculcate
the habit of reading books, they automatically start availing the benefits of reading in their daily life as well as in their studies. Hence the habit of developing reading books is important for every kid and the best time is from the early years of childhood.

In the initial years of childhood, parents can introduce books on pictures, colours and symbols. This helps the kid to learn about them and correlate. By doing so, kids develop a habit of  correlating things and logical thinking. Thus, are important tool of teaching kids. In preschool phase parents must read out stories to their kids on regular basis. This helps the kids to develop into good listeners. It also helps in shaping the attitude and behaviour of the kids.

By reading books, they develop reading skills and hence become good readers which in turn provide them support in their studies. Children should be encouraged to read out books loudly.This helps to provide speech clarity and remove reading and speaking inhibitions in them. It also helps in concentration power, vocabulary
and aslo improves grammar.

Kids should neither be forced to listen nor they should be forced to read books, rather reading should be encouraged as a  fun activity and hence should be practiced at the convenient time of the kids. Simple language books should be preferred.

Parents involvement in kids reading habits also helps to build a strong relationship between them. Kids love attention of their parents and such healthy habits develop confidence among the kids. However while developing reading habit in their kids; parents must keep a check on their kid's subject of interest as well as on their convenient time. Thus, main objective of parents should be to develop healthy readers in their kids because only healthy readers are healthy listeners.
