Read, read, read
There is one thing that we can do that is more
important than to instill a love of reading in our children. What is it then?
“Read yourself”.
Reading is a lifelong gift. If you read, you can
always educate yourself. It doesn’t matter if you are reading from a computer
screen, a paperback or from a leather-bound classic. Rather than getting upset
at life’s delays, A-B-A-B (Always bring A Book) and put this time to profitable
use.
Set the reading example in your home. Children only
read when they see their parent reading. Keep plenty of books, magazines and
newspapers in the house for everyone to read and discuss. Set family reading
goals and provide children with incentives for reading. Set aside a time each
week for reading aloud as a family. Take regular family trips to bookstores and
libraries. Encourage all family members to give book as presents on any special
cases.
