Tips to nurture your son’s

interest in reading

Let your son help you choose the books you

read together. If your son doesn't like a

book, don't force him to read it. Let him put

it down and come back to it after reading

something else.

If your son has a favourite book or author let

him read it again and again but also

introduce an author or a book similar in

style.

Tips for nurturing your child’s

interest in reading

Specialist websites are not only fun for online

browsing, but have developed specialist tools such

as the facility to download Opening Extracts

and search author Like for Like functions.

Many of us are not aware that there are many

children‘s books written by great authors especially

for them. These days, children don't have to be

forced to read Dickens or Bronte.
