Be it a new skill, recipe or technique, if we actively enjoy the thing we are learning, we will be more motivated to continue – even when it becomes challenging! Reading is no different. Children need to see reading as a pleasurable activity, not merely something that has to be done so that they \u2018do well in school\u2019. One of the simplest ways a parent can show children that reading is fun is to read themselves. Children imitate what they see around them, so when they see Mum and Dad enjoying a good book they will be more inclined to want to do the same. <\/p>\n

Children who are motivated to learn to read will likely pretend to read, especially if Mum and Dad are reading together. They will show an interest in books and happily flip through them before they can decipher the words on the page. They will also likely ask their parents to read to them, which may be the single most important thing a parent can do to strengthen a child\u2019s motivation to read. Read to your child every day. The enjoyment of a story being read in an engaging tone of voice is the clearest indicator to a young child that books – and by extension reading – is fun.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#f2735c” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

Children need to connect the words they hear (and later read) to something they know. This could be an animal like a cat or dog, an object like a table or chair or even an emotion, like happy or sad. Provide your child with a variety of fiction and non-fiction books filled with pictures and be ready to answer their questions when asked what something is. Likewise, use a wide vocabulary when talking to your child and explain the meaning of unfamiliar words to them.<\/p>\n
Another great way of developing your child\u2019s vocabulary is to ask them to describe things. This could be an everyday object, one of their favourite toys, or even a picture in a book you are reading together. Take the time to help your child find the appropriate words to explain how something looks, feels or sounds.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#f2735c” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

If children do not have this skill, then the magic of the stories they are reading will be lost to them. The narratives will be reduced to a string of seemingly unconnected words.<\/p>\n
Children who have these skills should be able to answer simple questions about a story such as \u201cWhy is this character sad?\u201d or \u201cWhat do you think will happen next?\u201d. They will also be able to retell the story in their own words and describe elements of the story such as individual characters or settings. Fortunately, these are things that are easy to make a part of your regular reading time and can be extended in many ways. For example, you might want to provide your child with finger puppets to help them retell the story they have heard or have them draw a picture of their favourite part of the story and explain what happened.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#f2735c” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

Crucially, they are also aware that each letter makes a sound and are able to make that sound when asked.<\/p>\n
Teaching all of this can seem daunting at first so it\u2019s best to start small. Teach your child the letters in their name and ask them to point them out on an alphabet chart. Use part of your daily reading time to read an alphabet book with your child, asking them to name letters and sounds. Letter knowledge can even be nurtured outside the house by drawing attention to print in the environment. For example, you could ask your child to \u2018hunt\u2019 for certain letters while at the supermarket. Not only will this activity help with their letter knowledge, but it will keep them occupied while you\u2019re buying groceries![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#f2735c” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

Children with strong phonological awareness will be able to recognise rhyming words when they hear them and count the syllables in words. As their phonological awareness improves, they will be able to blend sounds together to form words and also break up words into their individual sounds.<\/p>\n

Finally, take time to play word games with your child. You could play \u2018eye-spy\u2019 substituting the name of the letter for the sound it makes or ask children to replace the first sound of a word with another sound (e.g. replace the \u2018c\u2019 in \u2018cat\u2019 with an \u2018m\u2019).[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#f2735c” custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s answering questions about the story, tracking the words on the page or recognising rhymes, reading books that your child has selected themselves is key to so much of what follows in their learning. Take the time to do so everyday. Not only will you be bonding with them, you\u2019ll be helping them on their reading journey by encouraging a lifelong love of books.
