Top Tips to Get Children to Love Books, Reading

(PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- lovereading4kids.co.uk offers 11 tips that will help a child to enjoy reading and love books.

Here they are:

1. Reading should be a shared experience between parent and child in order to divest a love of books from an early age.

2. Ensure your child sees you reading regularly whether it's a book, a newspaper or a magazine as it will instill a love of reading for pleasure.

3. Let your child help you choose the books you read together. If your child doesn't like a book, don't force him or her to read it. Let them put it down and come back to it after reading something else.

4. Read in a place that's comfortable for both you and your child.

5. During and after reading a book talk about the story and take time to discuss the ideas in the book in order to ensure a greater understanding.

6. Change the pace and voice in keeping with the story.

7. If you don't have time to take your child to browse in the library or local bookshop then introduce them to an online resource such as Lovereading4kids.co.uk

8. Give your child plenty of praise while reading.

9. If they have a favorite book or author let them read them again and again but also introduce an author or book similar in style - Lovereading4kid's Like for like will help here. On sites such as Lovereading4kids.co.uk, parents can enjoy online-time with children as much as watching TV with them.

10. Specialist websites such as Lovereading4kids.co.uk are not only fun for online browsing but have developed specialist tools such as the facility to download Opening Extracts and search Author Like-for-Like functions.

11. Many of today's parents are not aware that there are whole rafts of childrens' books written by great authors especially for them. These days, children don't have to be forced to read Dickens or Bronte. Harry Potter is not alone! Above all, make reading fun.

Jacqueline Wilson:

'I loved reading when I was at school, frequently racing through a book a day, but my choice of books was rather hit and miss. I started off with Louisa M.Alcott's at the top of the shelf and worked my way round to Laura Ingalls Wilder's at the other end of the library room, never quite knowing what I was doing. I was always in a rush and there weren't even any comfy chairs in the library where you could curl up and browse. I often lugged books home to discover they weren't my cup of tea at all. Lovereading would have been an enormous help! It's such an easy fun way to access heaps of suggestions for good reads and a fantastic way to get as many children as possible to love reading!'

Michael Morpurgo:

'I cannot think of a better way to find out about new books and new authors. This is a wonderfully informed invitation to read. Bravo! I Lovereading.co.uk"
