Starting from these premises, we observe the following tips:

  • Find the right time and place to read with children, as another routine of home. We will not always be willing, with desire or humor to read them, better leave it for another time or propose to them "read" or see books alone sometimes.

  • You have to read them stories since they are little and encourage them to participate with gestures, with words, with songs. Not only is a book literature, and long before they know how to speak, they must be encouraged to approach the stories. It is also important that the communication is not unidirectional, passive: the child also wants to express himself.

  • When they grow up, they have to be interested in their readings: offer them support to solve doubts and time to talk about what has touched them. Talking with the children, the communication so important, also as far as readings are concerned.

  • Make the pages of a book or a screen a door that leads to other games when they are young (and an interesting debate when they are teenagers). Reading is linked to fun, entertainment, and surely some learning follows.

  • Show that there are many types of reading: from a book to a recipe, from a story to an advertising text ... and that all enrich and teach.
