Kids nowadays love to surf the internet, play video games, listen to music and sit down and watch a movie. Getting them to sit down and read a book can be an impossible feat without creating a war. Why is reading so important for a child? Reading gives your child knowledge, just as when you read as an adult you will acquire knowledge. Reading will also improve your child's speech, pronunciation of words and their vocabulary. Reading will soothe their mind helping them to relax.
First, we must get your child to turn off the computer or television. This will be the most challenging obstacle. Then you will need to get a comic book. I would suggest getting one that your child is interested in. Pick one of your child's favorite cartoons and grab it in comic book form.
Be sure to monitor your child's reading. It will do them no good if they sit at the table and stare at the pictures. Once they have finished the comic book give them a little quiz. Have them describe what they have read. If they supply you with detailed information, then you will know that they are following the story.
Once your child begins to show enthusiasm for reading the comic books, then it is time to show them more advanced childrens books. It will depend on their age and how much their reading has advanced to what level children's book that they will need.
So don't delay, have them turn off that computer or television and dive into a comic book. This will be their first steps into the world of reading.
