| 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!
