Story Time Reads Sept. 17-24
Published on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 1:00pm
Print Motivation: Includes being interested in and enjoying books.
Why is it important?
Kids who enjoy books and reading will be motivated to be read to as well as learn to read themselves. Motivation is key because learning to read is hard work!
Kids that have negative associations with reading are less motivated to read.
It is important we make sure our children start to read and listen to books and stories from Day One so they have a good time with reading.
What can you do to help build this skill?
- Have fun!
- Read books you both like. Kids can tell when you are not enjoying yourself.
- Stop (or shift gears) when it is no longer fun. Length of time is not important; enjoyment is!
