Never deprive your child of reading as a punishment: “If you don’t clean the room, you won’t have any stories before bed!” Neither your own children nor your students should think that reading aloud is a privilege that must be earned.

Don't read books to your child that you don't like. The child will certainly feel your attitude towards the book, and this will not allow you to achieve your goal.

From time to time, choose a book to read that is a little more difficult to understand than the child is used to. This contributes to his intellectual development.

Start reading to your child as early as possible - even before he is born. The sooner you start, the better and the easier it will be for you.

Family members can encourage the child to read: answer endless why questions; Praise your son or daughter for trying to read or write something on their own; take your children to the library more often; buy books; write down stories that the child comes up with and dictates to them; display his drawings and stories prominently. None of the factors identified in these studies were costly or required more than parental interest.

There is no right or wrong way to read aloud. The wrong situation is when you don’t read to your child at all. So pick up a book and read to your children!

According to the results of one study, children who read independently understand the text of a paper book better than an electronic one. Apparently, the e-book offers too many different actions and this distracts the child’s attention. If an e-book looks more like a toy or game, the main purpose of reading a story is lost. So it is better to choose e-books that do not have excessive animation effects, music or other distracting elements.

Having books at home is a proven way to change your life and expand your horizons in any country in the world. Data from studies of 70,000 families from 27 countries, accumulated over many decades, show that having a large number of books in the home library increases a person's desire to learn and continue their education. The more books (0, 25, 75, 500), the higher his chances of graduating from ninth grade, high school, and university, respectively, even after taking into account adjustments for parents’ income, their level of education, and their field of work.

The test showed: the more books a child has at home, the higher his educational results.

Giving reading lessons to children who don't have books in their lives is like offering oars to people who don't have a boat: you won't get far!

Scientists have found that: 1) boys to whom their fathers read have significantly higher reading results; 2) if dads read in their free time, their sons read more and study better than those whose dads read little or not at all in their leisure time.

The most important thing you can give your child is your time and undivided attention.

Reading aloud before bed allows dad and sons to spend time together and builds a strong bond with each other. It also has a positive effect on the relationship between fathers and daughters

Children develop a desire to read when the most important male person in their lives, dad, reads, including picking up a book and reading aloud to them.
