Our children are created naturally to speak words. However, they are not created to read or write. Reading and writing are two of the most important life skills that come by learning, practice and repetition. With intense teaching and consistent practice, our children can easily learn how to read and understand printed words. Almost all children learn to read and write at the age of about six. However, teaching our pre-school children about the value of reading is very critical. When our children know the basics of reading at an early age, they can become better readers when they reach their primary school age.
Poor reading skills and abilities can affect our children's future in a number of ways, while excellent reading skills can ensure unqualified success in whatever the field of activity our children prefer to choose. Reading skills are the important keys for learning. Anything that exposes our children to the basics of language in a meaningful and understanding manner will contribute immensely to their learning of the art of how to read.
Reading words and text in printed form is a latent ability that almost every child possesses. However, to develop and master the art of reading, the role of parents is very critical, as they are first mentors and teachers, who can initiate the actual process of developing the reading habit. Parents may wish to ensure that their children can read, write, spell and pronounce words in a manner that can propel them to the path of definite success. Have a nice day!
