问答题 Children come to reading in different ways over different periods of time. (76) Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading. Start with books that appeal to you. (77) Until you discover what your child likes to read, select books that you loved when you were small and new stories that strike your imagination. Visit your local library and ask the children’s librarian to suggest authors and titles kids love. Make reading routine. (78) To get your child hooked on reading, set aside a regular time each day to enjoy a book together. Fifteen to thirty minutes is fine – or whatever it takes to read a whole story or chapter. That’s enough time to give the young reader a chance to settle down, focus – and enjoy. Make good reading behavior. Your child watches you when you read. (79) If you don’t seem to be enjoying yourself, you’re sending a message that reading isn’t much fun. No matter how tired you are, try not to drone. Put your heart into reading! Let the actor in you emerge! If you sound bored, you can’t expect your child to be interested. Borrow or buy books whenever possible. Get into the habit of taking your children to the library and try to fill bookshelves at home. Give a book for every birthday and holiday. Encourage friends and relatives to do the same. (80) When you go out shopping and your child asks for something, buy a book. They’re cheaper than toys and a far better investment in your child’s future. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80.
