Make reading a fun and frequent family activity
Students who read a lot become better readers, and families can influence how much their children read. To encourage your teen to read more, set a good example by reading more yourself. Fill your home with interesting reading material, and set a regular family reading time. Encourage your teen to read to younger siblings. Then, plan fun activities to do with your teen that involve reading, like making something by following instructions.
Convierta la lectura en una actividad familiar frecuente y divertida
Los estudiantes que leen mucho se convierten en mejores lectores, y las familias influyen en la cantidad de tiempo que leen sus hijos. Para animar a su joven a leer más, dé un buen ejemplo y lea usted mismo. Llene su hogar con material de lectura interesante, y establezca un horario regular para leer en familia. Anime a su joven a leerle a hermanos menores. Luego, organice actividades para hacer con su joven en las que haya que leer, como seguir instrucciones para hacer algo.
