How Do You Choose Childrens Fiction Books?
The best way to prevent children from spending too much time watching television or playing video games is to help them learn to love books and reading. Reading is an essential life skill that leads to a better future in every possible way. But how should parents go about helping their kids choose children’s fiction books to read? Watch your child when he is playing or watching television and note what types of activities excites him the most. Does he get very happy when he is interacting with stuffed animals? Then he would probably enjoy a children’s fiction book that has an animal as a central character. Take your child on a trip to the bookstore or library. To increase her enthusiasm, tell her beforehand that the visit is specifically to let her choose a book for herself. This will make her feel more involved in the process and more eager to select something. Find the section of the bookstore or library where books related to your child’s interests are shelved.
