Answer:
Reading a book is an enchanted paradise, a state of complete bliss, peace and happiness. But unfortunately in today’s internet-crazed world and smart phones, the habit of reading is slowing dying. More often, we see both, parents and children glued, either to their phones or TV screens, having no interest in or time for reading.
The habit of reading should be inculcated in every child. As Emilie Buchwald says, “Children are made readers in the laps of their parents”. No child is too young to be read to. Parents can strive to nurture reading habits in their children as early as possible, even in a toddler. You can start with a picture book associating words to pictures.
Make bedtime reading a ritual in your child’s life. When reading to an infant the story book should be full of colourful pictures and the story be told in an animated fashion. It helps in retaining their attention.
Young children can be read fairy tales, mythological stories, and moral values stories. It not only encourages them to read but boosts their imagination. Bed time reading further strengthens the bond between a child and parent.
Children who form a habit of reading early in their life show a remarkable understanding of things.
Reading not only betters their factual information but also helps them in their academic knowledge. Encourage them to read a wide genre of books.
