How do you feel whenever your child keep on insisting (crying for actually in the case of Deen, my lovely 3 years old son) for a book! Its really a satisfying observing your child having fun with books or the kinds.
Indeed, many fun activities we can do with our children to get them excited about books and the world of reading. When kids are having fun, it is so much easier to draw them into something - like the wonderful world of literature. The very best thing we could do is to channel them to enjoy it for themselves. When we are intuitively motivated to do something, it is a sustainable motivation. This will mold an awesome foundation for their whole school careers.
A very fun and proven way to really dig into a story is to read it with your child and when you are done, ask your child their favorite part of the story. Then have them draw a picture of that part. Further, creatively ask them for a short explanation of their picture and that part in the story. And either have them dictate to you and you write it on the bottom of their picture or let them write it if they can.
Another suggestion to really engage your child in the books you are reading with them is to play a guessing game. Each time you turn new page of the book, look at the pictures with your child and encourage them to guess what they think might be going on at this point in the story. It could be so enticing to see if they got it right, because, sometimes they might get it so wrong that it turns the book into a super silly story. And what is more fun than the giggles?
