Reading is an essential part of a child’s learning and future success in school. Unfortunately, many children see reading as either a chore or they might suffer from anxiety when they are first starting out to read. However, with the right help, your child can become a reading wiz and may even find that they love it.
One way to combat confidence issues while reading is to get your children involved in reading every day. At first, start out slow with only 10 to fifteen minutes a day. It’s important to not push reading on to your child or they may come to loathe it and never want to do it. Practicing reading will help your child build confidence and helps prove to themselves that it’s not all that hard. As they build their reading skills, they’ll find more enjoyment in reading, and they’ll want to read more often.
