HOW TO MAKE KIDS WANT TO READ #5: Reading Level

Have your child choose books that they can read successfully on their own. Don’t let your child choose what they would like to read if it is way above their reading level. They will end up skipping over words or sections and not comprehend what they are reading. They will eventually give up and use this as a reason to support their opinion that reading is boring. If books are chosen that they struggle to read, they will lose interest in reading altogether.

HOW TO MAKE KIDS WANT TO READ #2: Comics, Magazines and Newspapers Count

Reading must be fun or a child won’t read it. Not all reading comes in the form of a book. Allow your student to choose comic books, magazines, and newspapers. Superhero comics, graphic novels, sports magazines, MAD Magazine, and the sports section of the newspaper are some of the most exciting reading out there. Encourage them to read these if they hate reading books. Don’t worry that these are not considered “fine classic literature” by all the snobby know-it-alls. Reading is reading and these items are fun. Kids aren’t going to want to read long books with lots of words on the page, they need smaller books with more engaging writing to keep them interested. This is why magazines and comic books are perfect.
