Help your child to read Right Books
As a librarian and mother of a boy who was considered a below average player in the education system traditional, I developed an interest in books that would help you be interested in reading. As a child loves visual images, for books with many color photos are a must.
Here is a list of ways to involve your child to read:
1. Find Books that are interested in.
OK … Now when I say that the books I'm thinking globally. I'm not thinking of cream milk powder color pages full of tiny black writing. I'm talking comics, magazines, beginner readers, picture books, volumes of nonfiction, anything!
These days there is no excuse for a boy who did not find something they are interested in reading. There are many visually appealing books on almost any subject imaginable just waiting to lure viewers sampling in the words that expand your color images.
Visual learners, this is your generation to glow.
2. Really look the best books to give your child
I mean really look at them and look for them. Not only the cover or the subject, but look inside. Trust yourself. Only Reader rookie because he says does not mean it is right for your child.
Suffice to say that your child is a reader "reluctant" and loves Star Wars. There's loads Books about Star Wars when you start it? Jedi Quest, Jedi Apprentice and Jedi last of the series' are great but are very dense and overwhelming to readers earlier. Dorling Kindersley Readers beginners are attractive, but the vocabulary may be too frustrating for readers who struggle.
Random House published a series Jedi Reader books to coincide with the prequel films in four different reading levels and can find them on ebay. His selection of vocabulary is very suitable to readers sooner. Furthermore, the publisher of Dark Horse Comics released a comic series called The Clone Wars Adventures has many pictures and few words Choice.
Go for what you think will work and if in doubt test it … smoothly.
3. Be patient and be consistent
Be really, really patient and totally, totally, totally coherent. Read with your visual learner every day with him sitting beside her. Take the time you read the book and then read it to you.
Read the chapter of a book like Geronimo Stilton, Dragon my father or some pages of a book for Tintin he can see the story as he hears his words. Then encourage him to read to you, either a page or a small book, it will not only develop a love constant reassuring for the time he spends with you, but the feeling that you're really interested in your reading.
You are sharing two things that are so essential for the trip of your life: love and words.
4. Fill your home with comic books and Other Visual
You do not have to spend a fortune to do so. Thrift stores, sales of second hand books, and the king of all things cheap and accessible, eBay, are places to start.
You can buy lots in the auction of all ages, comic books of the decade from 1980 to 2000 at a great price. Try Marvel STAR mark, Groo (Groo the humor is great for visual), Batman Adventures, Justice League Adventures, Teen Titans, Cartoon Network Block Party, Loony Tunes and Stories in comics like Garfield. Many comics all ages, were also collected in trade paperback format at an affordable price rate.
Acquisition new or already read the books in the series look like Geronimo Stilton or visual dictionaries and guides (Usborne offer a great entry-level information and Encyclopedia series) to space flight, dinosaurs, computer science, mechanics, and thousands of other disciplines, one of which is connected to input your child.
Once you have books at home they will get them to look at the pictures, then put them, pick them look at the pictures, then put them down and one day they will pick them up and read some words.
Cool!
5. Levels of reading are just a guide!
I was aware my 8 year old son was far from fluent in reading, while some kids his age were reading Harry Potter for themselves. As a child I was one of those boys to read everything I could get my hands on.
It took a while for me to accept that my child learns in a different way and come to read in their own time. I just need to be there to guide you with patience and resources. When he is ready I have books that will open doors for the words and the new world Reading announces its life.
