Top Tips to Encourage Reluctant Readers

Make a Routine Setting aside some time each day, even if it is just 10 minutes, will forge a reading habit that could potentially last a lifetime.Let your Child Choose Children are far more inclined to read about something that interests them, whether it’s fairy tales, adventure stories, or even non-fiction books.Lead by Example Reading in front of your child, even if it’s just browsing the morning news, helps to foster the idea of reading as an enjoyable part of everyday life.Use your Voice When reading together, try using different voices for different characters in the book. Not only will this help your child imagine the characters coming to life, but it will ensure that their attention stays firmly on the story.Ask Questions Asking questions while you read will keep your child interested as well as improving their reading comprehension. Ask them what they think will happen next, or how they think a certain character might be feeling.
