Cultivating love for Reading

1. Read. The first step is easy! If we want to encourage children to read, we must do the same. Reading can be done for enjoyment, information, training, or connecting with others. Read. Read a little more than you have recently.

2. Encourage pupils to socialise while reading. Create book clubs, reading groups, and literary communities. Many kids  need to interact with one another while reading. It dramatically improves their comprehension and makes the experience much more fun. Adults understand this (we join book groups and spend hours on Goodreads), so let us let children have the same experience.

3. Host a Read-a-Thon. A lovely event that you can organise with fellow parents. Children can wear pyjamas, bring pillows and plush animals, and can be encouraged to reread favourite novels or choose a "challenging book." you can make a potlot with favourite snacks

4. Go on a field trip. Go to the library, visit a literary event, go to a book store. Go to places where books are important

5. listen to audio books. Invite kid to listen; play brief excerpts. Audio books "count" as reading in my opinion. You are absorbing vocabulary, using comprehension tactics, and enjoying stories or accumulating knowledge while not developing decoding or fluency skills. Some audio books I've listened to have stayed with me in ways that reading text has not. My mind was free to envision the scenes in a way that would leave lasting impressions. .

6. Make connections between what you read and other issues. Reading and books have always been connected to the real worl. Help children understand the larger, historical, and political context of the necessity of reading in order to increase their appreciation.
