Reading is an essential life skill.

Children who choose to read books for pleasure and enjoyment will ultimately do better in literacy.

At school children are encouraged to read regularly and it is recommended that they read for 30 minutes every day. Reading every day will help children develop their writing skills, as well as improving their vocabulary and spelling.

Is Your Child A Reluctant Reader?

Quick Tips To encourage a reluctant child to read

When out and about:
Ask children to read road signs, leaflets, menus etc can also help. This can then be extended by asking questions such as "Which way should we go now? What ingredients are in main course of the meal? What facilities are available in the theme park? When does the shop open?"
Choose Interesting Books:
Find books that align with your child's interests, hobbies, or favourite topics. This can make reading more enjoyable.
Set a Reading Routine:
Establish a consistent reading routine, such as reading together before bedtime. Predictable reading times can create a positive habit.
Be a Reading Role Model:
Demonstrate a love for reading by letting your child see you enjoy books. Children often emulate the behaviours of adults.
Visit the Library:
Take regular trips to the library and allow your child to select books. The wide variety of choices can spark their interest.

Share the reading experience by taking turns reading aloud. This can be a bonding activity and can make reading more enjoyable.

Relate the content of the books to real-life experiences. Discuss how characters in the story might handle situations similar to those in your child's life.
Celebrate Achievements:
Acknowledge and celebrate your child's reading accomplishments. Positive reinforcement can boost their confidence and motivation.
Explore Different Formats:

"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!

As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.

I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."

Emma Robinson

"I have found the ‘Teach my Kids’ website to be very helpful and informative. The worksheets met my children’s individual needs at a time when I was struggling with ways in which to support them. They were very easy to follow have made a real impact on their confidence in Maths and English.

The website is clear and well thought out and easy for anyone to follow. Any queries are responded to promptly. A great website for parents!"
