Helping your son to read the right books As a librarian and mother of a boy who was considered a player below the average in the traditional education system, I developed a keen interest in the books that would help to focus on reading. As a child he loves visual images, so many books with colorful pictures are a must.
Here is a list of ways to involve your son to read:
1. Find the books they care about.
OK ... Now when I say I think books globally. I'm not just thinking about the cream color pages filled with dusty black tiny writing. I'm talking about comics, magazines, beginning readers, picture books, non-fiction volumes, nothing!
These days there is no excuse for a boy not to find something they are interested in reading. There are so many attractive books on almost every subject imaginable just waiting to charm audiences in the sample, the words that the expansion of their color images.
For visual learners, it is their generation to shine.
2. Really Locate the best books to give your child
I mean really look and watch. Not only the coverage or the subject, but look inside. Trust yourself. Just because he says Beginner Reader does not mean it is good for your son.
Suffice it to say that your son is a player "reluctant" and likes Star Wars. There are lots of books on Star Wars, so where to start? The Jedi Quest, Jedi apprentice and the last of the Jedi series' are great, but are too dense and overwhelming for early readers. The Dorling Kindersley beginning readers are attractive, but the vocabulary may be too frustrating for readers who are struggling.
Random House published a series of books Jedi Reader to coincide with the film prequel to four different levels of reading and you can find them on ebay. Their choice of vocabulary is very appropriate for early readers. In addition, the publisher Dark Horse Comics published a comic series called Clone Wars Adventures, which has many visual effects and a few choice words.
Choose what you think you work and if in doubt test it ... gently.
3. Be patient and be consistent
Be really, really, really patient and totally, totally, totally coherent. Read with your visual learner every day with him sitting beside you. Set aside a time when you read a book and then you read.
He read a chapter of a book like Geronimo Stilton, Dragon of my father or a few pages of a Tintin book, so he can watch the story as he hears your words. Then, encourage her to read, either a page or a small book, it will develop not only a reassuring constant love for his time spent with you, but a feeling that you are really interested in reading .
You share two things that are so essential to his life journey: love and words.
4. Fill your home with comics and other books Visual
You do not have to spend a fortune to do so. Thrift stores, sales of used books and king of all things cheap and accessible, eBay is the place to start.
You can buy lots for auction of all ages, comics of the 1980s to the 2000s and cheaply. Try the footprint Marvel STAR Groo (Groo is a great visual humor), Batman Adventures, Justice League Adventures, Teen Titans, Cartoon Network Block Party, Loony Tunes and comics like Garfield. Many comic strips of all ages have also been collected in trade paperback format at an affordable price.
Purchase new or previously read books like Geronimo Stilton series visual or visual dictionaries and guides (Usborne provide a level entrance to the Great Encyclopedia and information set) in a space flight, dinosaurs, computers, mechanical, and thousands of other subjects, one of which is linked to the entry of your child.
Once you have books in your home, they pick them look at the photos before asking them, pick them look at the.
