Tips for Reading
For Tinytots
Parents are the rolemodels for the children. If the parent has the reading habit, undoubtedly their children would automatically follow this. The suggestable age for a child to pick up reading habit is when it is 9 months old. Not a joke. At this age, the parent can show books that have big and colourful pictures. By showing the pictures through the child's finger, the child by seeing and feeling, would register the object shown in the picture, in its mind. Thus the reading habit starts.
As the child grows, the parent must get the child focussed to more and more of books. The suggested timing for a child to read books is at the bed time. As the child is fully engaged with its academic lessons and home works through out the day, it is to be made a point to read atleast a few pages of a book during bed time. This habit also helps as an exercise to mind.
