One way, perhaps the best way, to help young children learn to read is to read children’s books to them out loud. Based on research the U.S. Department of Education concluded that children who were read to three or more times a week were twice as likely to score in the top 25 percent in reading than children who were read to fewer than three times a week. The difference shows up in the first years of school: children who were read to frequently did better in kindergarten than children who were infrequently or never read to.
Choose Books Thoughtfully
When you read to children and take the time to talk about the kids’ books with them, the children’s reading, vocabulary, critical thinking, and conversation skills improve. Teachers, parents, and other family members have many choices of books to read to children. As the adult and the reader you get to choose the children’s books you like, keeping in mind the interests and comprehension levels of the child. Bookstores with good children’s sections, libraries, and online sellers of children’s books are excellent sources of reading material for kids.
There are many types of Interactive children’s books. The most popular are the simple talking books which allow children to read while listening to a recorded version of a story. Improved reading, listening, and comprehension skills are three major benefits of Interactive children’s books. The recordings of Interactive children’s books come complete with sound effects and character voices which enhance the actual reading experience. These books also allow children who are too young to read or children who have reading challenges learn to read as they enjoy the stories.
The Interactive children’s books that are accessible on the Internet take this idea one step further. Computers help to make images in the story come alive. In addition, the characters’ voices are heard. Thus, all the features of a story can be truly displayed. Interactive children’s books can also give your child the opportunity to learn computer skills, which can help prepare him/her for the use of everyday technology.
