5 Awesome Tips to Encourage Young Readers

There are various ways to encourage your young children to read. One of those ways is to present books that they are interested in. Think about it, people will read what is of most interest to them.

Reading Strategies


Think about it. Just as you have favorite types of books you like to read, so does your young ones. You just need to find out what it is they like.
1. Interests
First of all you need to find out what are their interests. Some children in kindergarten like soccer, dolls, crafts, animals, the doghouse, kickball, karate, or comics. When you discover your kindergartners unique likes, you can then go to the library, online, or purchase those types of book. It is very encouraging to take your kindergartners to the library and allow them to browse in that area and then they can pick out the books that he likes. I like that this is a free service. I recall taking my children to the library as toddlers, they loved to pick their own books and to just explore the library.  They always acted as if it were a treat for them.  
2. Books Around the House
Reading can be more fun, when reading about something that is of interest to you. I have also found that leaving books everywhere throughout the house is encouraging too. I leave books on the kitchen table, in the bathroom, front room, and nearly everywhere. I really encourage reading of books while sitting on the toilet for any length of time. Don’t forget keeping books in the car while you are traveling to the store, school, or church.
3. Reading to Them
Did you know that your young children love for you to read to them? Some of the elementary schools allow the older students to read to the kindergartners. That is a great ideas, because the kindergartners can relate to another child.
4. Sensory Books for Kids
According to 25 Sensory books.com some children love to touch and feel. Some sensory books such as Peekaboo Forest, Touch and Feel Farm, and Noisy Farms are ideal for that child.
I have observed that children will pick out a variety of books. They really seem to like the book Ten Little ladybugs. One kindergartner picked that book out. I found out that I even liked it, because it included math in the book and the colors on the lady bug were raised on the book and felt smooth like a marble. Books like those give children a hand on approach to reading as well.
I have found very good reading books for kindergartners at the dollar store. I especially like the biblical books and books that are in hard cover. These are great for preschoolers.  . Also, the hard covers do not tear up easily.

5. E-Kindle easy reader
According to Annie Murphy Paul, a study by the National Academies of Science, reported that extra-large spacing between letters on an E-Kindle easy reader allowed a group of dyslexic children to read text faster and with fewer than half as many errors. I think this is just awesome. Be sure to do something every day to encourage your kindergartner to read.

When my kids were little we used to go to the library every week so they could check out books they were interested in. Thanks for sharing with us at The Blogger's Pit Stop!

I think that giving kids the freedom to choose their own books is so important in motivating them to want to read. Great tips.
