Reading is an essential skill that children should master since it comes in handy in the later school years. The good thing is that as a parent, there are things that you can do to help improve the reading abilities of your preschool or school-going child. In a recent study, it was found that the reading skill of 7-year old kids could indicate what they will be earning 35 years later.
Here are the tips that you can use to help your child polish his/her reading abilities.
Read to them
The first tip for improving a child’s reading ability is reading to them. Reading out loud to your child enhances their comprehension skills, the decoding of words and mastery of vocabularies, although you will have to do it regularly to experience these gains. What’s more, it gives them the desire to read on their own.
Make reading a regular activity
When you make reading a usual thing by establishing a timetable, say 15 to 30 minutes every day, you are encouraging your child to read independently. To make this work and yield the benefits that you desire, ensure that everyone in the house is reading and that you are doing it together. In the long run, your children will find the time and even increase the reading time.
Surround them with reading materials
