How to create reading atmosphere at home
February 18, 2009
Hey people do you know that reading out with your kids is a new mantra for spending quality time with your kids. It does not matter that how much time you spent but what counts is the joyous moments together. Reading can be really fun and thrilling. Reading is a wonderful activity, which can be done anywhere and everywhere-indoors, outdoors, traveling.
Reading books to children is way of connecting to them. It improves their listening skills and gives you a chance to understand and share their innermost feelings. To begin with, create a reading environment at home. Inculcating reading habit does not; mean that you have to spend a lot of money on new costly books. Instead you can enroll you kid as a member of the local library. Or if money is a problem, pick up second hand books from bookshops. Believe me, the thought of reading a book is enough to get kids excited. It does not matter to them whether it’s new or old book. Dig out the stories of your own country’s rich treasure of epics and folklore. Or create your own stories. It does not matter whether they like to read Spiderman, Harry potter, superman, or Mickey mouse get them to read. Try to remember the books, which you enjoyed reading as a child. Get the same books for your child.
Try to use the words you read out in storybooks in day-to-day conversation so that children understand the significance of words. At times if your kid may pester you to read out the same story again and again, then oblige the child. In a short span of time, the child will narrate to you the story on her own looking at the pictures. Try to be dramatic when you read. Give every character of the story a distinct voice.
