Do you have a child who does not like to read? regularly when that happens one of two things are going on. The book is either too difficult or not interesting. Here are 4 ways to turn I hate reading into I love books. I use these same ideas in my home study program. I hope you find them helpful too.
1. Find "Just Right" books for your child. Just Right books are books that are not too hard and not too easy.
If the reading material is too hard, your child will become frustrated and get discouraged. As a follow he'll avoid reading. But on the other hand if the material is too easy, then he's not being challenged to learn. So how do you know if a book is a just right book, use these straightforward rules.
3Rd Grade Math Practice
• The 1st rule is The 5 Word Rule. Have your child read a book out loud to you. As she reads, if she struggles with 5 or more words or has to be told five or more words are, the book is above her reading level. It is too hard. (That's the 5 Word Rule. In order for a book to be a Just Right book, your child she be able to read the book independently with just a limited withhold from you, if needed.
• The 2nd rule in figuring out if a book is a Just Right book is The comprehension Rule. Does your child understand what is happening in the book? If you asked your child to tell you what is happening on each page or chapter, what the characters are doing, what's the main idea, could she? If not, the book is above her reading level.
• The 3rd rule that will help you shape out if a book is a Just Right book is the Read It Lots of Times Rule. If your child has read the book a lot, knows every word and can recap it from memory or read it without thinking, then the book is below her reading level. The book does not teach her new words or challenge her to think.
2. Link a New Book or Genre To What Your Child Already Knows
Before introducing a more difficult book or a new genre to your child, find out what your child already knows about the characters or branch matter. This gets children ready and excited to learn. Try to furnish a optical hook, an thoughprovoking question, real-world experience, or creative way to set the tone for the new lesson. It's prominent to link new studying to what your child already knows. By tapping into what your child already knows you not only make studying more meaningful, but you also increase attentiveness and memory as well. Also, let your child take books that he is curious in. If your son like dragons or snakes, find grade level books about these topics and do a science unit study on dragons or snakes. If your daughter likes Barbie, find grade level books on these topics and do a public studies unit study on the history of doll making.
3. Keep it "short and sweet."
Mini-lessons (which are 15 minutes of teacher-led study followed by 15 minutes of learner practice) for the Language Arts (reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary and grammar and punctuation) are becoming more and more beloved within the public classroom setting. Daily Lessons that are short, but concise and marvelous helps kids who hate to read pay attentiveness and stay on task, because they know that the lesson will not go on and on. If you teach a series of mini-lessons in any given day, your child is receiving hours of language arts study and convention every day. It's just divided up into 15 limited segments. Set a timer and let your child know the prospect and schedule. Once the mini-lesson is completed, repaymen your child with a fun activity. Use the "break" time for oral recap and reinforcement of any new vocabulary words or challenges you noticed.
4. Throw In A Game
Games are a natural prolongation of learning. I use lots of games in my home study program. One of the ways that my son and I achieve our math goals in accordance with our state's educational standards is we play Math Twister, which is a play on the game Twister by Hasbro. To play the game I write numbers on post-its and place the post-its on the colored dots. I then spin the board and as my son lands on the dots he has to add or subtract the numbers on the dots and tell me the correct answer. I am now doing Word Twister where I write words on post-its and place the post-its on the Twister mat and as he lands on the word he has to use it in a sentence. There are many ways that you can use games to teach Language Arts and make books come alive. Think spelling Bee. But for the highly-distractible child think Spelling kickball or Spelling catch ball. Scrabble. If you are teaching complicated children, why not go to the park and have reading relay races.
The key here is to be creative, build your child's reading confidence, find books that are just right and link studying to what your child already knows and you'll be good able to turn "I Hate Reading Time" Into "I Love Books."
