Academic success and emotional development of children largely depend on building good reading habits, particularly in the modern screen-based world. Pakistan education surveys have shown that almost 40 percent of primary school students in the country have difficulties in their basic reading comprehension and hence parental involvement has never been more significant. A good practice would be to make reading a regular habit of 15-20 minutes a day, a practice helped by research to gain thousands of words of vocabulary in a single year.
The dads and moms ought to provide age relevant books that correspond with the interest of a child such as storybooks, science readers, and illustrated nonfiction. It is also possible to create a comfortable home environment where children can read and become more focused at home, avoiding distractions of digital machines.
Telling stories, posing simple questions, and giving children a chance to select their own books promote curiosity and confidence. Good reading habits are not only a great academic boost but also helping in developing creativity and problem solving skills. Parents can encourage life long love of reading by simply continuing the encouragement day after day.
