Other than that, parents should bring their kids to the national library at least once a week and they have to read together with their kids, so that the kids will be encouraged to read. Parents also can set up a mini library at home with the materials available and suitable for reading. Parents also should advise their adult children to read newspaper on a daily basis and not only reading story book or novels. This is to make sure that they are aware about the current issues.
For adults, it will take time to change their habit when they realize reading is very important. Government also must carry out campaign regarding reading habits.

For example, you can read during your breakfast and lunch or in time when you’re free like when you go to bed or waiting for someone. You also have to set a reading goal. Your goal might be a book a month or one per week.

    Reading and writing also encourages us to think. We introduce to the concept of reading at a very early age. It remains with us in different forms throughout our life. It is very important to instill the habit of reading right from childhood. You can put in children, the habit of reading bedtime stories. Reading during the early years helps the child in improving his/her language skills. When children learn to recognize written words, it enables them to mock the words and then is able to write. Avid readers and writers are also better at processing information faster than those who read less. The research presented by the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology proves that poor readers have poorer short-memory functions. [1] As a result, avid readers have a broader outlook, are quicker to analyze facts and find connections between unrelated ideas.…

    I would like to mention that for my parents, especially for my dad, reading has always been a favorite hobby. Partly due to this fact, I have always received positive emotions while reading. If both of one of the parents often read, the likelihood that their child will want to receive positive emotions from this activity is very high. On the other hand, if parents do not read but require a child to read too much, the reading can become a field of resistance between the child and his or her parents. Reading has always been an easy and pleasant leisure for my parents. I am immensely grateful to my father who was an influential literacy sponsor and still has the biggest impact on me. I am used to see my dad who is a cardiologist working on his own development and expanding his knowledge in many fields. We have a family tradition to read a science book every month and later discuss some of its points together. I find such kind of pastime to be truly useful and…

    Reading heightens a child’s ability to comprehend new things. The more a child reads, the more advanced the child’s capability of fully understanding what he or she is reading becomes. In addition to gaining the ability to better comprehend what he or she reads, reading --whether it be fiction or nonfiction-- exposes and explains new ideas to kids. This exposure to new ideas is intrinsic to helping a child understand the world around him or her. Children can learn more morals from reading than by any other means.…

    Reading Philosophy

    In order for a child to excel in school they need to be well versed in reading therefore; I believe that it is vital for all children to learn to read. Not only should reading be a fun and enjoyable experience but something that influences the child to succeed in all subject areas. Reading is an integral part of life that needs to be mastered. A child can master the basics of reading in the early years and should be learned at that time due to the aggravation and frustration of learning those skills later on, as he/she gets older. Although there are many children and adults alike that hate to read it is our job to spark an interest in these children so they will find reading enjoyable. All of the aspects of reading should be equal and balanced in order for the child to learn. Although I loved reading when I was younger, I still had to ingrain this behavior into my own children so they could see reading could be enjoyable and that it was an everyday part of life.…

    Today’s youth should read for many reasons. Some of those key reasons are due to the fact that reading stimulates the mind. When someone reads a book that they can relate to or enjoy they become in depth with the topic at hand will often educate themselves on a topic, but they do not even realize it. Think about it, if a child who struggled at reading was able to relate to a style of writing or fiction like that of Anthony Horowitz’s novel series ‘Alex Rider’ they will want to continue to read and become more engaged with the novel. When they…

    Reading feels like something that has always been a part of my life. I grew up in Northern California, in a lower middle class household that was trying very hard to provide their children with more than they had the means for. This meant that I never really saw my parents, except weekends, and in the evenings when they would pick me up and my grandparents. Despite this, they did what they could to jump start our intellectual progress. My parents and grandparents encouraged our learning by reading aloud to us from birth- and not just children’s stories, but everything from the newspaper to National Geographic. If anything, this proved to be a mild setback later in the learning process, but I can’t say I begrudge my parents giving me a head start.…

    To help children develop a love of reading start by having books all around. In the words of Dr. Seuss, “The more that your read, the more things you will know. The more you learn the more places you will go.” (Dr. Seuss). An early start with teaching the concept of page turning, observing pictures, and sequencing will feed little ones curiosity. You can further spark their imagination and creative thinking skills by sharing a picture book without words. Also, reading at bed time will also help small children learn that reading is a relaxing and comforting activity. As children get older we need to make sure we don’t always make reading feel as if it is a task, but rather enjoyable. The U.S. Department of Education found that, generally the more children read for fun the higher their reading scores are in school (U.S. Department of Education, 2007).…

    I have to admit that there are few factors that motivate me to continue to read books when I was in primary school. The cover of the book should be beautiful and colorful which make a good impression to me and attracts me to read it. I like to read book that is thin and full with content. The book should be colourful as I like something that is attractive rather than dull books. Books that packed with images and pictures also help me to comprehend the content easily. The language used should be short and simple. I don’t like to refer dictionary in the middle of my reading to find the meaning of a word as it disturb my concentration. I have many accesses for reading as I was a librarian back at my primary school. My family supports me when I’m reading, so they prepare me a study table and they create a conducive environment; good lighting and ventilation for me. Plus, my elder sister has the passion as I had and this encourages me to read more. My parents always buy me storybooks to motivate me to read more. My primary school teacher always calls upon me during assembly and praises me for reading many books through Nilam program.…
