Teaching children to read opens the world to them. You can go anywhere and do everything through books. But in today’s era of high-tech Gizmos and video games often the last thing our children want to do is read. But there are some simple and entertaining way your love of reading with your children. Implementation of these few simple ideas and your children are engrossed in a good bok, before you know it.

Read to them

Children love to be read aloud. Cuddle on the couch with a good book is a wonderful way to spend time with your child. Even older children like to read, especially while they are with other “hands-on” type.

Have a Hideaway

Take a reading corner in your house. Fix a cozy corner with beanbag chairs, or a large overstuffed pillows, a small bookshelf. You will not have to look if they calmly to find them.

Scatter books around the house

Leave books lying around. Books in the bathroom, in their night tables, in the living room and even in the kitchen. If they are bored they get it out of curiosity.

Get a library card

Get them their own library card. Children love having their own library cards and check-out books they decide on their own.

Got to the library often

Visit the library often. Schedule a regular library day, and let it sit and read for a while in the library. Profit from your local library programs, such as history, to help cover a child interested in books.

Throw Out book Teasers

Tempting drop hints about a book. Start reading itself, that your children might like and “share” some tempting treat. If they want to know what happens - say, “Oh, you have to read yourself, you will not believe it!”

Add some fun extras

Expand the book. Add fun activities, which go beyond a book. When reading Heidi, are looking for the countries on a map, Swiss cheese to eat lunch or a few soft roles for the grandmother.

Pull the VCR

See a video about a book. Then say: “I wonder how close it was to the book? Perhaps we should read that.”

Make your own books

Let them their own books. Younger children are particularly love. Something as simple as paper stapled together becomes a timeless treasure, if they write their own stories. Let younger children will tell you a story and write it out and they illustrate.

Setting an example

You can not expect your children to love Somethin you do not. If you want your children are you readers have proved too. There can be books, magazines, or even lovingly coffee table books full of pictures. Let them see you read and read often.
