Effective Reading & Writing Programme To Improve Your Child's Reading & Writing Skills (N1 - P4)
3 Reasons Why Your Child Might Be Struggling To Read!
Are you doing everything you can, but your child still hates reading? As parents, how do you get them to like it and develop the habit of reading independently without having to force them? These are mistakes that you might unknowingly be making that turn your children away from reading.
Mistake #1
Having the WRONG books
Is the book too boring? Is the content too difficult to understand? Research has shown that letting children choose their own books could in fact make them better readers. Give your child the choice to read what they desire and they will want to read more.
Mistake #2
NOT reading enough to your kids
Do you incorporate reading into your child's routine? Reading should be cultivated on a daily basis. It’s critical that they have an unscheduled time every day for reading. Practicing daily improves fluency.
Mistake #3
Reading NON age-appropriate books
Here's when most parents get it wrong. Reading harder books WILL NOT make their child a better reader. Attempting to read books that are too difficult will discourage and frustrate the child. To develop fluency as a reader, children need to devour books that they can already read pretty fluently.
Mistake #3
As parents, it is important that you intervene and identify your child's literacy weaknesses before it's too late! Find out how we can help your child improve his/her reading abilities through our literacy assessment today!
