Supporting Your Child’s Reading

Finally, we all know that reading is fundamental to the development of children. Countless research shows the links between good reading skills from an early age and future success in life. However we also know it can be hard to get children really excited by books given the many other exciting leisure time activities fighting for their attention. Obviously having books they like is a great start but here are a few terrific tips for nurturing your child’s interest in reading:

• Reading should be a shared experience between parent and child in order to ensure a love of books from an early age.
• Ensure your child sees you reading regularly whether it’s a book, a newspaper or a magazine as it will instil a love of reading for pleasure.
• Let your child help you choose the books you read together. If your child doesn’t like a book, don’t force him or her to read it. Let them put it down and come back to it after reading something else.
• Read in a place that’s comfortable for both you and your child. During and after reading a book talk about the story and take time to discuss the ideas in the book in order to ensure a greater understanding.
• Give your child plenty of praise while reading. If they have a favourite book or author let them read them again and again but also introduce an author or book similar in style. Our Like-for-Like feature will help here.
• Parents can enjoy online time with children as much as watching TV with them. Specialist websites like LoveReading4Kids are not only fun for online browsing, but have developed specialist tools such as the facility to download free Opening Extracts and search our author If They’ll Like…They’ll Love function.
• Many of today’s parents are not aware that there are whole rafts of children’s books written by great authors especially for them. These days, children don’t have to be forced to read Dickens or Bronte. Harry Potter is not alone!
• Above all, make reading fun.
