Deep dives

Teaching reading effectively

Most schools and parents approach teaching reading the wrong way, pressuring and telling kids that reading is what smart and successful people do. This leads to kids associating reading with feelings of inadequacy and resistance. Instead, the key to teaching kids to love books is to show them the tangible and immediate benefits they can gain from reading. Examples of this include sharing quotes from successful individuals who attribute their success to reading, finding books that entertain and engage them, and demonstrating how reading can help solve problems or improve themselves.
