Today we are going to talk about the importance of reading books which is a significant trend among family members.

What we see in most families is that children usually start reading books at the age six and older, but it is suggested that children be familiarized with reading younger than that age. Reading story books for children at the time of sleep is a good habit but children should get used to books at a very young age so that children would be easy with reading and learning at the school ages. 

Parent should choose books compatible with their children’s age and interest. Most of children’s books are labeled with age category so that the selection would be easier.

At age 5 are attracted to books with colorful illustrated books which let them know about animals, vegetables and objects. Books made of carton, cloth or plastic are interesting for children to touch.

For the children aged between 6 to 9 books with exciting short stories is appropriate. Parents can also ask their children’s attitude about the books’ characters and so let their children’s imagination go beyond.

Then the children can retell the stories by their own words. By these strategies parents can help their children have an active ready memory and easily understand the relations.

And the children aged 10 and teenagers choose more intricate subjects and try to search for their questions. At this age emotional and ethical images are formed in their minds.

As children grow up they become independent in choosing the type of book to read. Parents should also teach their children the correct ways of reading books so that they can enjoy reading and at the same time learn a lot more. Parents can teach their children the four main well-known types of reading techniques that are skimming, scanning, intensive and extensive.
