Stories are loved by children. The range of stories in Indian culture is full of awe, thrill and intrigue. Children are marveled by the adventures of kings, the pythons and animal life and the true story of freedom fighters. Owing to their adaptable nature children are very much influenced by virtues. Each story has a moral and children are able to relate the same to daily life.

It is much easy to read a story to a child than make them read it by themselves. Phonics is the normal way they are able to learn words and this is exciting for them. For starters it is essential to connect the word with a picture. For e.g. words like bun, bread etc. The stories should be picture based so that they can actually relate with the help of the depiction. The stories of valor, virtues are very much liked by them.

Compulsory reading habits cannot be inculcated. To make children love reading it is important to initially show them picture books or nursery rhyme books and set them in a read aloud mode. Parents or care givers can read it to them in a casual way and this is best way to keep them entertained. Initially they may not understand but they may try to form words.

It is important for us to read to the child a small paragraph each day and let them read familiar words. It is surprising that they pick things fast but at the same time repetition is important to keep them memory strong. Distractions have to be minimum and the room should aid reading with the right ambience. Bed time stories are loved by children and most parents find this as an easy way to bond with the child.

Books are the best gifts as this is the right kind of investment we can give to children. Include books as gifts at birthday parties and also as give away. Let hem learn to value the book and also maintain their library well. It is important to neutralize any vernacular accent they must have imbibed and teach them the correct pronunciation. The early we help them to read, other things in academics is grasped effortlessly by them.
