And, our reading preferences seem to change over time as our lives and interests evolve. There are as many different materials for children s reading as there are for adults. The first thing I would suggest you do is to find some standard children s books with your child s interests in mind. It matters THAT they read more than it matters WHAT they read. Next step head over to the non-fiction section.
Most libraries have a juvenile non-fiction section.
Many of the words in these books may be too tough for your child to read alone but as parents, our main responsibility is to work on encouraging a love of reading. We can leave the reading of books comprised completely of words that rhyme with AT to the teachers. In the non-fiction section, again look for books that match your child s interests. There are books on crafting, music, dinosaurs, sports, riddles, science experiments, nature, animals and a million other things. When reading these together, be interactive.
