We all know that “Books are our best friend”. The company of a good book always makes a human being more better. Reading is a journey not a destination.
We all need friends in our life. Gradually as we grow up then quality matters most than quantity. And a very few remains in our inventory. But I strongly believe books can never leave you alone.
We cannot change ourselves in one day. We need to nurture the saplings so that we can have the fruits after few years. Same way we should instill the habit of reading in our kids from onset. And slowly reading will be a routine in their future life.
Here are few ways we can inspire our little ones to be lifelong reader:-
- We should be the role model for our little ones. If we don’t have love for books they will never find interest on books.
- We should not wait for them to grow so that they can read the book, we need to read books to them once in a day so that soon they will start having fascination for books.
- We should read books with lots of colourful pictures for the little ones , as it will be easy to grab their attention and they will have a curiosity to know more and more about the books.
- whenever there are times to give gifts to them, good books should be there.
- Set a particular time for book reading , for me bedtime story reading worked like a magic. My daughter got used to with that routine and never forgets to read stories before going to bed during night.
- Choosing right book for the kids is a very important thing, the content of the book should not go beyond a child’s reading ability , so that they have to struggle to go through it which results in lack of interest for the book.
