Developing an interest in reading from a young age can have a profound impact on a child’s future academic success and beyond. However, with screens and devices taking up more youngsters’ attention, getting kids to enjoy picking up a book is becoming increasingly challenging. As parents and guardians, what can we do to set our children up to enjoy reading? And why is it so important that we do?

 

The Benefits

The benefits of developing strong literacy skills from an early age are far-reaching. Not only does it set children up with the foundations to excel at school, but it also aids cognitive development, expands vocabulary and knowledge, and helps nurture creativity and imagination. The simple routine of sitting down with a book each day, even for just 10-15 minutes, can make a world of difference.

 

Easy Access to Books

Making reading an accessible and fun part of a child’s daily life is key. Have books for different reading abilities readily available and make cosy spaces for your child to relax with a book, such as bean bags in the corner of their bedroom. Getting them their own bookcase or bookshelf where they can proudly display the books they’ve read helps too. Stick to board books and picture books at first, so they remain engaged and get used to how enjoyable sitting down with a good story can be.

If you’re fostering in Portsmouth, have a selection of books for allk age groups, ready and waiting for when children arrive. Then they can pick and choose one or two before you get the opportunity to visit a local library. 

 

Set a Good Example

Seeing parents, guardians and older siblings reading is also influential. Set a good example by letting your child see you reading magazines, books or newspapers. Occasionally read a page or two aloud to them so they can get a flavour of more advanced books above their reading level. If you’re busy with work or other responsibilities, a nanny or an au pair from goaupair.com, depending on your needs, could also support your child’s learning journey by incorporating reading time into their daily routine. Soon they’ll be keen to find stories that capture their imagination too.

 

Make Reading a Bonding Activity

Make reading together a bonding ritual by reserving a time of day to snuggle up together with a book of their choice. Whether it’s reading a bedtime story or a few chapters after school, this quality time and connection you make over reading supports positive associations. Give them autonomy too by allowing them to pick the stories sometimes.

 

Libraries and Bookshops

Take regular trips to the local library or bookshop together to pick new reading material. Let them excitedly explore and discover fresh options. Seek inspiration from librarians too for recommendations suited to your child’s age and interests.

While getting all children to love reading equal amounts is unlikely, fostering an environment where books and stories are easily accessible, enjoyable and valued sets strong foundations. Developing literacy skills and a passion for reading from a young age can enrich a child’s life tremendously. So, make reading an exciting part of their routine today for gains which will last a lifetime.
