Promotion of Reading at home:

Promoting Reading at home:

Reading is a way for students to open their mind to new and exciting possibilities. It helps them to explore stories from countries around the world and lets them see different cultures. Reading  inspires children's minds to explore different places and creates imagination, provides a framework for learning and enables the reader to gain knowledge through a variety of materials.


Therefore, the library wants to help you to encourage a love of reading in your child. 

Some ways of promoting reading are:

1. Read to your child every night: This way it encourages your child to have good vocabulary skills and a demonstration of expression in their voices.

2. Read your self: This will encourage your child to read when they see you  do the same. Lead by example.

3.Here is a way to use your newspaper to encourage reading: a scavenger hunt.

Give your child a list of things to find in today's newspaper. Here are some ideas:

A map of Australia.A picture of your child's favourite athlete.
The temperature in the city where a family member lives.
Three words that begin with "w".
A movie that is playing at a nearby theatre

4. Give books to your child as presents so that they can start their own library.

5. Scout for things your children might like to read. Use their interests and hobbies as starting points.

6.Play games that are reading-related. Check your closet for spelling games played with letter tiles or dice, or board games that require players to read spaces, cards, and directions.

7. Find computer games that encourage reading such as:
