Reading Tips |
Your teenager has a
lot of competing interests and may not make reading a priority.
Between their active social lives and extracurricular activities,
it's not surprising some teenagers become less regular readers.
Here are some useful tips to help turn your teenager into a
lifelong reader!
- Set an example. Let your kids see you reading for pleasure.
- Leave materials including books, magazines, and newspapers
around the house for everyone in the family to share.
- Visit a Dymocks bookstore or library with your teenager when you
are out shopping together.
- Buy books about a subject that your child likes – for example a
book that features their favourite sports teams, music interest,
hobbies, or TV shows. Give a gift subscription to a special
interest magazine.
- Share a joke book with your teenager, everyone loves to laugh!
- Motivation is key, make reading aloud a natural part of family
life. Share an article from the paper, a poem, a letter, or a
random page from an encyclopaedia--without turning it into a
lesson.
- Try to make friends with one particular librarian and one
particular bookseller so they can get to know your child and
suggest the perfect reading material.
