Blog Entry 52 of 66 What can you do to motivate your children to read
What can you do to motivate your children to read regularly? As parents, we know that reading is important, we feel frustrated if our children don't like to read. Today there are many forces in children's lives that pull them away from reading — television, video games, and after-school activities — what can you do to motivate your children to read regularly? The key is to learn more about your child's interests, then to tap into those interests. Suggest books, magazines, and articles that relate to those topics. Scout for things your children might like to read. Use their interests and hobbies as starting points. Notice what attracts your children's attention, even if they only look at the pictures. Then build on that interest; read a short selection aloud, or simply bring home more information on the same subject. Sit down and spend time reading about trains or fairies, whatever your child’s passion is. see more at:http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Denver-ParentSchool-Connection-Examiner~y2009m3d8-What-can-you-do-to-motivate-your-children-to-read-regularly
