    Reading takes us on adventures we may never normally have and teaches us about the world beyond what we can see, but some people may not be that interested. Much of our connection with reading is developed as children, so how can we encourage a life-long reading passion in the kids?

    Rachael Rogan, the founder of a book festival which focuses on children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds, says that “a love of reading is one of the most powerful gifts you can give to a child. As well as the obvious benefits — stories are fun, magical devices that don’t require charging or Wi-Fi and can transport you to another dimension in seconds — reading is a proven and hugely effective route out of poverty.”

    So, what can parents do to inspire a love of reading in their children?

 

    1. “Reduce any stress involved in ‘learning to read’,” says child development expert Dr Jacqueline Harding. “Offer books that have something to ‘say’ to children. There needs to be a sense of fun for readers to be relaxed and fully engaged, this is key to the experience of beginning to decipher those lines on the page. Children tend to like characters who are similar to them, ones they can relate to, and who are aspirational and inspirational.”

 

    2. “Illustrations are so important and not to be underestimated, as they help to deepen the narrative and reveal important social and cultural cues. Chatting together about the ‘story’ that the pictures tell in a book or magazine is an activity that is helpful for language development,” Harding explains.

 

    3. If kids are digitally inclined, link the online world with the reading one. “The digital space is here to stay, children were born into this world, they learn with it in school, and they see it used every day. If they’re interested in a topic, then this appears to be great motivation to read a book or magazine about it or watch a movie or related series,” she explains.
