Reading plays a great role in the language, cognitive, emotional, spiritual and moral development of children. Thanks to books, children learn to think, empathize and question the things around them.
Start Early.
The sooner you start, the more permanent results will be obtained. Be sure to read a book, even at an age where you think you won't understand. Our goal is not to learn something, but to improve his relationship with the book. Three-dimensional and colorful books containing various textures, making sounds, and colorful books will be a good start for this period.
Be an example.
Children mostly take their parents as role models. Being an example to them by reading books plays an important role in improving behavior.
Establish a Routine.
Establishing a routine is the most important basis of forming a habit. Just like we do during game hours, it will be effective to determine the reading hours or days.
Choosing according to their interests.
As we do not read every book, our children will not want to read or listen to every book. Choosing books that suit her age, character, and interests will help her enjoy reading.
Make it easy to access.
Keep books in sight and in easy reach. In this way, it will come to mind more often and it will be easy to access.
Give a Gift.
Gifting a book to your child on special days will help to explain the value of books.
