Reading is fairly effortless for most adults. But, it\u2019s a whole new challenge to tackle for kids. If you sense your kids are ready to learn how to read, that\u2019s great! You don\u2019t have to wait for their school to teach them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a quick guide on how to get started and let your children make their way into the world of literature. If your children are having trouble learning and need a little push in the right direction, this will help them as well!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we'll cover:<\/p>\n
The most important source of knowledge for your children is already in their lives. It\u2019s you. If you want your kids to develop or learn anything -a passion for sports<\/a>, good manners or reading- you have to show them early on the importance of these things. It\u2019s not about telling your kids they need to learn how to read because they might not understand it entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have fired up a little spark inside your little ones, you have to create an environment that allows your children to learn how to read. From early on, kids notice everything in their surroundings without knowing it. If your kid has their name on their bedroom wall, sooner or later they will ask you about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a big library filled with books, sooner or later you will have a kid interested in it. You don\u2019t need an expensive library to surround your kids with things for them to read. Books, magazines, e-readers, even subtitles will do the job! The more words available for your children, the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can give a little twist to this as well. There\u2019s an argentine writer who explained how he got a passion for books and learned to read early on: When he was a little kid, his aunt gave him dozens and dozens of books as a gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His grandfather didn\u2019t like the idea of a kid reading grownup books, so he took most of them and hid them away. The kid couldn\u2019t stop thinking about those books. He then waited for the right time to get ahold of those books and couldn\u2019t stop reading ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea of a forbidden activity will make your kids want to do it. Perhaps putting a couple of books on top of a \u201cforbidden (or grown-up) pile\u201d will spark huge amounts of curiosity that\u2019ll turn into passion later on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many parents decide to try to teach their kids how to read before they have a chance to do it in school. That\u2019s amazing! What they do not know is how kids learn how to read. Or how kids learn how to do anything. They don\u2019t have the willpower to pay attention to lessons or cards for long enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But they have the energy to play for hours on end. If you want to teach your kid how to read, you need to turn it into a fun activity. There are more than enough games and puzzles you can use to teach your children how to read without them knowing what they are truly doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should take advantage of music<\/a> as well: Don\u2019t try to make your kids memorize the alphabet, let them learn the words (or rather, letters) of the alphabet song. They\u2019ll know it by heart before they could even memorize their ABCs in any other way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
