If your child avoids reading, it may be because they feel it’s “too hard”. Here are three simple steps that can make reading feel easier and more enjoyable at home:
1. Figure Out What’s Hard
- Conduct a quick, low-stress check-in or assessment
- Offer support to fill small gaps before they grow
When their skills improve, reading becomes more enjoyable.
2. Adjust Difficulty and Topics
- Choose easier, more accessible texts
- Let them pick stories that match their interests
The goal here is more reading, not harder reading! When they read more, their reading skills improve.
3. Reinforce Effort, Not Perfection
- Praise strategies, persistence, and bravery
- Set up a simple reward system for effort
When kids feel confident, they’re more willing to take on harder texts.
