HOW TO MAKE YOUR CHILDREN LOVE READING

Reading is one of the four skills of every language. For the English language: which is our official language, it has become imperative that we groom children who can read and read fluently. The best time to start is now, irrespective of the age of your child. Starting early is the key to building great readers. I started reading to my child @ 4 months. Yes, 4 months. At first, it seemed I didn't know what I was doing, but as the months went by, he has greatly shown interest in books. Without introducing him to sounds, he already mutters some sounds of the English language.

For older children, create time and read to and with them. Children are natural imitators. When your child sees you reading, reading will come naturally to him/her.

# Buy them Books: most parents want their children to be readers but do not buy them books. You ask them to read age inappropriate books they can find at home. Get them age appropriate books and you'll see your children devour books and come to love reading.

# Be a Reader: children will naturally imitate what is commonly done around them; so be a reader, yourself.

#Visit the Library: as much as you can, visit the library with your children; not parks, eateries or restaurants. Sometimes, visit a public library or a private one that is opened to the public.

It's great as a parent seeing your child reading from a tender age. . .
But in this age and generation where a father goes out early in the morning and comes back late at night. . . Will this fly?
