But in the world of gadgets, it can be difficult to teach a child to read.

But there are a few tricks that will help you do this faster and easier.

Give a correct example

If a child sees that his parents devote time to reading, he will also try to repeat this behavior.

Read together

Even if a child has been able to read for a long time, it is still worth reading together from time to time.

Some works can be read in roles or you can share paragraphs with your child in turns. This will add variety to the process and make it more interesting. At the same time, you should not demand a result from someone, for example, to read a book very quickly or force them to do it.

Develop reading habits

It is quite easy to do this. To begin with, you need to read with your son or daughter every day or several times a week after dinner, when all family members are at home.

At the same time, the baby will receive the attention of his parents, feel comfortable, and pleasant emotions will be associated with reading.

Give freedom of choice

It is necessary to allow the child to independently choose literature for himself in a store or library so that he feels interested in reading works.
