Tips to Get Your Child Reading This Summer

To help your child foster a love of reading, encourage them to start reading from an early age. If you notice your child isn't very fond of reading, the summer is the perfect time to help them develop a positive reading attitude. Follow these tips from The Tutoring Center, Powder Springs GA to encourage your child to read this summer.

Stay Up to Date With the Newspaper

Newspapers can often seem boring to students because they tend to include a lot of writing and not very many pictures. However, most newspapers are written at a high school reading level, making them accessible to even middle school students. To encourage your child to read the newspaper, sit down with them every morning and take turns sharing what articles you find to be interesting. After a while, your child may find a section they enjoy and even look forward to every morning.

Take Reading Field Trips

Reading field trips are a great way to get children excited about reading, no matter what grade they're in. There are multiple ways to make these a part of your summer adventures. One option is to use reading field trips as a way to get out of the house and give them a change of scenery that will encourage them to read. Grab your book and take a trip to the beach, the lake, or a park, just make it somewhere relaxing where you and your child can both lay back and enjoy your books. Another way to include field trips in reading is by taking a trip to a place related to the book your child is reading. For example, if their book takes place at a beach, take a trip to the beach.
