WWII Memorabilia

Is it good to force child to read a book every time?

Is it good to force child read book every time?

Do not force your child to read a book based on what you think they should be reading. You don't have to force a kid to read when they find something they like. A friend was forcing her middle-school aged son to read classics Treasure Island, etc. Her son didn't like them & refused to read. She told everyone her son hated to read. so her son started telling everyone he hated to read.

My son loves to read. He's got a ton of books. Some of the books are really funny, some are mysteries and some are fantasies. He even has books about animals. He likes both fiction & Non-fiction books.

Well I started watching her son after school til about 7:30 when she got home from work. I would have them read for 30 minutes while I prepared dinner. It had to be 30 QUIET minutes. no talking or I would add another 15 minutes to their time. I gave him some choices of my son's books. He loved dogs so he chose "Help! I'm Trapped In Obedience School" by Todd Strasser. and then he read all the other books in that series. He read some of the Geronimo Stilton books and of course the Captain Underpants books by Dav Pilkey. He also loved the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. And the "39 Clues" series. And "the Lightning Thief" series by Rick Riordan - they even made this into a movie, but the movie is a little different from the book.

And by the way, after 30 minutes they continued to read on their own until dinner was ready, sometimes reading for an hour.

Its not that kids don't like to read, its just they haven't found WHAT they like to read. If your child likes sports, maybe they would like to read about their favorite athlete.

If they like animals, there's tons of books at the library both fiction & non fiction.

what kind of shows do they like on tv? try to pick books that are similar. if they like scary movies, ask the librarian for horror books for their age.

if your child likes cartoons and reading the funny pages in the newspaper, have them try reading Graphic Novels which are like big comic books. They even have non-fiction graphic novels that are history related.

just don't force a kid to read what you feel they should be reading. The teachers in school do that enough. kids should read what they are interested in.

i always say, read 2 chapters. if you can't get into it, pick another book.

James Patterson has a great series for Young Adults. The 1st book is "The Angel Experiment" and each chapter is only about 1 1/2 pages long! www.jamespatterson.com

Also another good series is the Conspiracy 365 series by Gabrielle Lord. The first book is called "January" and there is a new book for each month this year. www.conspiracy365US.com

hope this helps
