As parents, we want our children to have the best possible start in life. Reading is a skill that opens doors to a world of possibilities, and it’s one of the most important skills your child will ever learn. But reading is more than just a practical skill – it’s a gateway to a whole world of knowledge, imagination, and empathy.
Here are some tips to help your child become a confident and enthusiastic reader. Reading aloud to your child is one of the best things you can do to encourage a love of reading.
Even after your child has learned to read independently, continue to read aloud together. This helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills and provides an opportunity for bonding and sharing quality time. Make reading an enjoyable experience by incorporating it into your child’s daily routine.
Encourage your child to choose books they’re interested in, and let them read at their own pace. Create a cozy reading nook, provide comfortable seating, and ensure good lighting. Consider setting up a reading challenge or book club to make it more engaging. Children learn by example, so if you want your child to be a reader, model that behavior. Make time for reading, and let your child see you enjoy books.

Discuss books with your child and recommend ones you’ve enjoyed. It’s also a good idea to limit screen time and encourage other activities that promote reading, like visiting the library or attending author events. Reading does not have to be a solitary activity. Encourage your child to read menus, signs, and labels when you’re out and about. Choose books that align with your child’s interests, such as a cookbook or craft book (Sheila, 2023). Integrate reading into other subjects, like math or science, by reading related books or articles.
