Do you have a child that struggles with comprehending what they read? Many kids have trouble remembering what they read. This is most true when they are just beginning to learn to read. It is just temporary so there is little need to be overly concerned. What happens is when they begin to read they are focusing only on reading the words and not comprehension. This causes their reading to be choppy like a robot would talk. The cure for this is to just keep practicing on their reading. With the practice their words will become more smooth and comprehension will soon follow. Take turns reading pages with your child. This will give them a good sense of how their reading should flow. Keep praising them for all their hard work and stick with it.

Does your child read books that are at their reading level? If they are then you may need to rethink your strategy. They should be reading at three different levels on a consistant basis. Your child should read one book below their reading level. The purpose of this is to build their self-confidence and tone the skills that they already have. Then they should move to books at their reading level. This will help them in their development in becoming life-time readers. Next is reading books above their level. This will challenge them and give them a goal to work towards. While they will find it difficult to read, their minds need to be challenged periodically. Always give praise to your child for their hard work and effort.

Do you read to your children? Do they read to you? This is a great way to get them motivated to read. When you sit down to read them a book, let them take a turn reading to you. A way you could do this is for you to read one page and then let them read a page. Do this throughout the entire book. It will give them a sense of accomplishment and increase their self-esteem and confidence. If you have a child that is too young to read have them tell you what is happening by looking at the pictures on the page without you reading the page first. This will help develop their communication skills by association. Another thing that you can do is after reading the book have them retell the story in their own words. If they have difficulty with this at first keep encouraging them and with time they will be able to recite the story to you. Remember to check out our back-to-school sale going on right now for a limited time. Every childrens book on the site is on sale.

How has summer reading been for your child? It is important to keep reading during the summer months. A goal of 2 hours per week is sufficient to keep their minds developing. Your child should be able to choose the books that they want to read. That is because they will feel that they have input in their reading. It should be fun for them to read. Set aside a time when you can read while your child is reading. If a child sees their parents reading, they are more likely to emulate this. Do you have a child that is too young to read? Little ones should also be reading 2 hours per week or have books read to them. They will love the quiet time they get to spend with you. Have them describe what is happening in the pictures. Can they tell you what just happened on the page you just read. This exercise will help them develop their comprehension skills. We would like to hear how summer reading has been for you. Share your thoughts, comments and ideas.

It can be a no win battle getting your child to read. This becomes more difficult during the summer months when they just want to relax and hang out with their friends. Do not show your frustration when your child becomes stubborn. They will feed off of your frustration and the situation will only become worse. Instead, relax and offer up incentives for them to read. An example of an incentive for your child could be having a friend stay the night or allow your child to stay out an extra hour if your towns curfew permits. These types of examples are especially useful if your child is a teenager. If your child is a bit younger letting them play for a little while longer or letting a friend stay over for longer periods of time gives them great incentive and motivation to read.

Remember the days when comic books were a welcome gift. Now adays kids have video games, the internet and all sorts of other things to do instead of reading. To help soften the blow of having to read, get them some comic books. Kids love to watch cartoons. That is really all a comic book is. The advantage of kids comic books in place of watching cartoons is that your child is reading. Reading will give them knowledge as well as enhance their vocabulary. Popular comic books are great for those children who are not enthusiastic about reading.

Take a break from reading! Did I just actually say that? Yes, I guess I did. The fouth of July holiday is coming up. This is a great time to let your child take a short break, emphasis on short. Does that mean to just let your child sit around and do nothing for a few day? Certainly not! This gives you the opportunity to switch things up a little bit. Your child will enjoy the change of pace. After all, they deserve to have a little break. What should I have my child do if they are not reading you ask? An age appropiate workbook is super for a quick change of pace. You can find these practically anywhere. Even most drug stores and grocery stores carry them now. So give you child a well deserved break.
Don't forget to check out our latest selection of comic books.

Summer is a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Especially if you live in an area that actually has seasons. Those who live in places that have winter, welcome the outdoors as much as we welcome a juicy steak. During the summer months your child should still read, but it needs to be fun for them. They need to be able to enjoy the books they are reading. While some kids are harder to get motivated to read than others, for the most part once they sit down and start reading, they will enjoy it very much. Just a quick update on the comic book category of the website. It is nearing completion and will be launched to the public on Thursday, June 17, 2010. Come and checkout our great selections.

Well, summer is now upon us and school has let out for the year. How much will your child read each week? Will your child read this summer or is it a time to rest the brain? We certainly don't want to rest, as this will cause your child lose what they learned during the school year. Your child needs to stay sharp by reading. You do not want your child to spend the beginning of the next school year catching up with the others who read in the summer. You don't need to go crazy on reading, but your child should a minimum of 20 minutes per day. That is only 2 hours per week. It is fine to take a day or 2 off during the week. Just be sure that taking days off does not become a habit. In conclusion, we would just like to give a quick update that we reported last week. The comic books category is still under construction, but should be completed by the end of the month. Stay tuned for more updates as they become pertanent.

It is just about summer time. This is a time for relaxing and enjoying the good weather. It is also a time to soak up some good reading. Don't let the summer slip by without reading a few good books. Most local libraries have a reading program geared for kids. They also give out prizes to those children who spent quality time with their books. This is a great way to keep reading all summer long. The added bonus in it for you is that it is FREE!

With May being in our sights, this means that the end of the school year is approaching. While it is nice to relax during the summer vacation, it is very important that kids continue to read. Whether they are beginning readers or more advanced in their teen years. It is still necessary to read on a daily basis. The summer months can prove how fun it is to read. Instead of having to read all of your school books, you can pick something that you really enjoy, relax and read. Share your thoughts and opinions with us here on this blog.

We as parents tend to push our kids, sometimes a little too hard. I know that I am guilty of this from time to time myself. So what is the appropiate age for children to begin to read? Of course, the real answer is that it depends on the child. But without risking a lengthy debate, under normal circumstances they should be able to read short easy sentences beginning in kindergarten. Which will transform them to be considered readers in the first grade. Let us know your thoughts and opinions on this subject.
