Hi everyone!!

I have been thinking few weeks ago about the reason of why the children have problems to read books, I mean, why the children don’t like to read. As future teachers we have to think about this problem because, we should try to motivate all the students, and also how to react when children in the class say “I don’t want to read”.

Reading specialists agree that reading is a habit, a pleasure, hardly acquired in adulthood. The love of reading has great potential to consolidate when awakened in childhood. Sometimes we hear parents complain: “my son does not like reading”. And they say with some fear. Actually, there are many people who do not like reading. It is a matter of interest.

Reading is a contemplative activity that requires concentration, silence, isolation, immobility, exclusivity. But the love of reading also depends on how you acted in a child’s life.

Looking information about how to help the children with the reading, I have found some helps for them, and also for the teachers and parents.

Many times it was felt that a child can read it pronounces a written statement. At six or seven years or so, start using a code, but it will take time to really know use it. Because it is appropriate to read the text: choose reading, read fast, be able to use the text for something, talk about the message, complete and extend it to other readings.

• The beginning reader needs a text to the extent of its capabilities, adapted to their sensitivity, taking into account its slow progression.
• You have to let the child choose the readings. If a story does not end, it may not be out of laziness or inconstancy simply has the wrong choice. You will have many opportunities in school and family life to find interesting topics.
• At the beginning it could be a good idea keep reading the books, because the ability to read is a skill very slow and need time.
• The reading-pleasure is a magnificent training to understand and appreciate the textbooks. And the textbooks suggest hobbies and other readings.

Also to improve the reading and the pleasure for the lecture as we have done in class is to create at home or in class a library with for them, because they have any opportunity to take one book and read by them.

I hope you like my post.
