The Benefits Of Instilling Good Reading Habits In Children

Instilling good reading habits in children will help them later in life. Even with the prevalence of video games and modern technology, children should be encouraged to read. It is a basic skill that any person should be given the chance to learn. Knowing how to read will prepare your child for both the simple and complicated challenges of everyday life.

If your child does not know how to read, how will he order from Mc Donald’s? How will he understand the instructions to his favourite video game? How will he know what’s written on the gift tags of his birthday presents? How will your child fill out college application forms, pursue higher education, find a decent job, and carve the path to his future?

Parents should encourage kids to read. Reading is a very healthy activity. When I say ‘healthy,’ I don’t mean that it makes one physically stronger or more resistant to diseases. Reading nourishes the mind. It is very good exercise for the brain. It helps make one’s brain function better.
A propensity to read will inculcate discipline in your kids, and help strengthen their focus. Reading requires your child to devote his time and full attention to the reading material in front of him. It also discourages him from engaging in less wholesome activities.

An interest in books will also encourage your children to appreciate literature, the arts, and even school in general. Good reading habits entitle your child to so much knowledge. If your child loves to read, he will appreciate the wealth of information that can be garnered from books. So many books on hundreds or even thousands of topics have been published. There are books on literature, science, art, mathematics, language, music, sports, law and politics, technology, as well as beauty and fashion, among others. The list goes on, and the information never runs out. Books are a goldmine of knowledge.

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own.

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
