Every child should have the opportunity to plunge into the world of knowledge gained through reading books. Reading should be taught as early as possible, preferably at home in a warm and loving atmosphere. A child's reading aloud is key to teaching books to read.

Steps

1. 1 Make it a regular evening reading. During this time, it is necessary for your child to read aloud for you at least a little (you can read it on your own at any time if the story turns out to be difficult for your child).
2. 2 Enroll your child in a local library. Schedule your child to visit the library once a week at set times (for example, Friday after school). Find the children's literature section and let your child choose the books to read. It's okay if they are not suitable for age or have already been read before, the main thing is that they arouse the child's interest. If the child is older, give him the opportunity to independently register the book at the reception, but only under your supervision.
3. 3 Make sure the reading spot is quiet, comfortable, and free of distractions.
4. 4 Do it one at a time.
   • Select and read aloud an entire paragraph or 2-3 pages from the children's story. Starting reading will help set the right tone for a fun reading together.
   • Have your child read for you.
5. 5 Listen carefully. As they read, your child will dwell on words they are not familiar with.
   • When your child stops, immediately explain the word to him so that he can continue on. Underline or circle with a pencil the words that the child finds it difficult to read.
   • Point out the words he missed and help him read them correctly.
   • Let your child reread a sentence, paragraph, or pages several times. This will help him understand the meaning of what he is reading.
   • As you read, you will notice that the words that the child could not read the first time are now clear to him. Erase lines and marks if your child can read the word with confidence.
   • In the end, your child will see that all the marks and underlines have been removed and will experience great success in doing so. As a reward for your child's first steps, mark each page with “excellent” and praise.
6. 6 As you read, also explain the spelling and pronunciation of some words, for example: milk, fat, good, etc.
7. 7 Finally, test the child's perception of the story as a whole. Ask your child to retell the main events in the story they just read in their own words.
   • To test the child's understanding of what he is reading, deliberately pause and ask the child questions about the main characters or events in the story.
   • Ask the child for the opinion of why the main character did this, accompanying his answer with information from the story.
   • Before reading to the end of the story, ask your child what will happen next and why.

Tips

• The child should clearly pronounce the words he / she is reading and understand the meaning of these words. The teacher or mother must first teach the child phonetics and the basics of the language.
