Most children learn to read easily by the age of 6-7.
However, not every child has the desire to read a poem or a fairy tale.
If you are faced with a similar situation when a child refuses to read, although he has already learned to do so, the advice from this article will definitely be useful to you.
1. Choose texts that are appropriate for your child’s level
They should be short, with simple sentences and uncomplicated words. The best options are works that are interesting to the child himself.
Don't push abstract themes that were popular in your childhood but have lost their relevance today.
2. Don't force your child to read
Put this topic aside for a while to avoid creating negative associations with the reading process. At a favorable moment, when both you and your child are in a good mood, offer interesting texts and attractive formats (for example, comics).
3. Don't focus only on reading speed
Instead of focusing all your attention on reading technique, work on your reading comprehension—and over time, your speed will improve.
