How often should kids read?

[ad_1]

TO
the child who reads is a child who usually does well in school, is good
speller, has higher critical thinking skills, and has a larger pool of
general knowledge. Children should be encouraged to read every day and
as soon as they can turn the pages of a picture book, they should be
taught to love and respect their books. Parents should do it themselves
read even more, if they want their children to follow this example,
as children often imitate their parents. Even the love of reading can
be encouraged when parents read to their children, and the tale can be
one of the best moments of the day.

Ideally,
children should be encouraged to read whatever they find interesting
— within the bounds of decency, of course — even if
it seems “too difficult”. Six-year-olds may not understand much of this
the encyclopedia, but should be encouraged to take up a volume whenever
they feel the urge.

TO
a good rule is to let a child between the ages of five and seven read
for 30 minutes every day. The time can be increased as the child gets
elder. A parent may need to start with ten minutes and work up to 30,
but this is acceptable. Some parents may actually need to limit theirs
reading time of the child if he has a bookworm in his hands. Some
kids give themselves headaches and parents have to limit book time
to no more than an hour or two a day if that happens.

In
in general, however, allow a child to spend as much as they like
with a book is a good thing. A child who reads and challenges
himself with advanced material, will almost always do well in school.
Parents should provide all kinds of books, as well as those for children
magazines. The child should also have their own library card, e
trips to the library should be a regular occurrence.

when
a child learns to read, a new world opens up for her. she can go anywhere,
be someone or do something. With the huge dividends of this form of learning
pay, a child should be encouraged to do this as often as possible.
