So if you are a book lover, or maybe you are just trying to improve your reading habit, encouraging your kids to read, or simply want to know more about books, keep reading. From “How to start a good reading habit” to “What is the perfect lighting for reading,” we gathered the best book blogs to give us their expert opinion on tips, advice, and everything we need to know on how to be a perfect bookworm.
Five tips to reading aloud with kids
- Let your kids select the books they want you to read. You can keep them alongside their toys to create an association with fun!
- Select a comfortable space to read together. There are plenty of affordable ways to create a “reading nook” or “at-home library.”
- Kids love voices and drama in stories! Try using different voices for different characters.
- Young children have a hard time sitting still. Aim to read together for 5-15 minutes at a time. Give them the freedom to wiggle their bodies if they need to.
- Most importantly, be patient and encouraging. Nurturing a love of reading takes time as you build reading routines at home.
