The best habit a person can inculcate in his/her life is the habit of reading because as it is said, you become what you read. Books play a significant role in the life of every individual. A magical world full of creativity, books fuel up a reader's imagination and make people adaptive to new ideas.
Reading has been a favourite hobby for most of us until this generation. Sadly, ‘books' have lost a lot of new and old subscribers lately. Today's kids are more tethered to the present technology than the older generation and have been playing more sophisticated games at younger ages than their parents ever did. But that is never enough for academic growth. So, to increase retention and comprehension academically, you need to put your kids into the practice of reading books at an early age.
Raising this habit in them is vital for their future, not just in academics, but also in improving vocabulary, knowledge, speech, and confidence so that your child can improve his/her personality to a greater extent.
Books are the best way to get acquainted with extraordinary words in the English language. Inculcating reading habits at an early childhood will not only help your child learn new words and demonstrate several ways to use them in their daily expression but will also develop their reading skills.
Kids who develop the habit of reading at early childhood are good at comprehending situations and develop a better sense of understanding than those who do not read. They can understand serious situations and analyze the cause and effect of a scenario maturely. To develop reading skills for children early, help them try reading aloud, and take baby steps towards improvement.
Developing reading skills for children is a great way to connect with them. Not just that, inculcating “good reading habits” together is a lovely ritual you and your child can share at the end of a hectic day.
In short, reading is a life skill. It is an investment for which you can reap profits throughout your life. Bring the joy of reading into the lives of your children. Make reading fun. Create a reading area. Set an example. Take them to a bookstore. Let them browse through different books and pick up what they like. A visit to a bookstore should be a frequent and regular activity in your household.
