Reading is an important foundation for children's development.

To encourage more families to develop their children's interest in reading, 12 locations in Singapore held neighborhood reading activities today, attracting about 1,000 parents and children to participate.

Families painted together, tried to lift glass bottles in a series of interactive games that kept both adults and children entertained and helped foster parent-child relationships.

The Minister for Social and Family Development attended the neighborhood reading event held at Tampines Plaza and told stories to the children there, hoping to encourage them to read more.

We hope to instill an interest in reading in our children through the participation of parents, especially fathers," the Minister said.

The earlier the reading habit should be started the better, and they will develop a good habit of reading when they grow up."

How to improve your child's reading skills Teaching you 4 ways to.

Some parents ask why some children's reading ability does not improve significantly when they are also led to read.

These parents are asked to rest a little.

Children have different physical qualities and inherent abilities, and there are early and late talents in reading ability.

But as long as you can guide your child with care, you can definitely make gains.

1. Repeat reading

Reading the same story 10 times is far better than reading 10 new stories.

This is because a story can contain so many pictures, words, plots, emotions, etc.

That it would be a waste to read the next story in a hurry.

Parents can read repeatedly and guide their children's different abilities according to the characteristics of their different stages.

2. Ask questions to read

Mothers can ask questions to guide their children to recall stories, accumulate vocabulary, memorize syntax, and refine themes.

For example, after reading a story, mom can close the book and ask the child what color are the butterfly's wings?

What color are the eyes?

What other details are there in the picture?

These seemingly common questions are the key to your child's success in composition class, because he or she has something to say and is more informative than other children.

3. Role play

Compared to dry reading, role-playing is a good way to attract younger children to love reading.

It not only exercises the child's ability in many aspects, but also encourages him/her to further understand the psychology of the main character and accumulate ways and means of doing things for himself/herself.

4. Imagine reading

After reading the story does not mean the end of reading, parents can also develop the child's imagination.

For example, you can ask your child what will happen when the ugly duckling becomes a white swan.

This kind of imagination development is the source of his (her) creativity.

We believe that with these practices, it is only a matter of time before your child falls in love with reading.
