Reading is not only a vital skill but also a source of fun and enrichment throughout life, so it is important that our children get into reading as soon as possible.
Reading for pleasure is essential for the development of numerous skills, by reading about diverse characters and situations, readers develop greater empathy and understanding towards others, for example, but how can we get our children to love reading?
What is a reading booklet?
A speed reading booklet is a valuable tool to help our children improve their fluency, their reading volume, and at the same time their reading comprehension.
It contains exercises and fragments of different readings with different levels of difficulty and selected specifically for the age of the reader to whom they are directed that seek to improve children's reading comprehension.
These exercises usually include activities that increase vocabulary and improve readers' grammatical skills.
They are designed in a way that attracts children's attention, making reading a fun experience.
In addition, reading booklets usually include questions as well as exercises and through them, the ability to extract important information can be evaluated and improved, or in other words, how our child's reading comprehension is improving.
How to use a reading booklet with our child?
It is important to choose one that fits the reading level and age of our child.
Afterward, it is necessary that we establish a reading schedule each day, a specific time to read and a goal that can be a certain number of pages or an entire chapter, whatever we agree with our son or daughter could be fine.
We can encourage our child to read aloud, as indicated by the Andalusian School of Public Health, dependent on the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs of the Government of Andalusia.
Even if he or she is just reading, doing so will improve his or her fluency and pronunciation, among many other benefits.
To improve reading comprehension, it is very good that our child can comment on what he has read, with someone around him or with us.
Sharing books and discussing readings with friends or family improves social connectivity and will provide us with points to talk about interesting topics.
What else can we do to get them into reading?
One of the effective measures that we can implement, in addition to using the reading booklet, is to allow them to read books of their own choice and for that, the nearest public library is always a tremendous help.
Visit the library periodically, every fifteen days for example, to borrow the books they choose, to share readings right there, to enjoy the reading promotion activities they put in place, to choose with them the books they will be read, to advise you if you request it.
