How to make your child love reading?

[frenkieai]

Hi everyone,

What if I told you that in 2021 almost 30% of all kids in the western world face some sort of a literacy problem? Would you believe me? I sure didn’t! That is, until I went down the rabbit hole and my heart just broke into a million pieces!

Whilst we are living in the iPad & YouTube age, the importance of being able to read, comprehend and process knowledge is absolutely crucial for any child throughout their development, and the fact that literacy rates are going down just blows my mind.


As I’m not the type to sit around and wait for things to get better, I am making it my mission to find an effective solution to turn those numbers around and make sure that our kid’s generation is turning into the most literate vs the most illiterate.

But to get to that solution I need your help. Would you help me change the future of 30% of all children? I make a quick and easy survey that takes just 1 minute to complete and your feedback would directly impact my research on finding a solution!

I think a very easy and proved solution is to have about 500 (or at least many) books in the house when your children are growing up. In this way they will almost certainly take up reading. Also they should see you read and value books and education. This is a very good predictor for success but I can't remember the source to link it here.

I believe that parents should be an example, so try starting reading yourself. Also, notice what's interesting for your kid, and get some books about it for your kid. As for me, it's too early to teach my girl how to read because she's only two. Right now, I need to find an Infant Day Care Brooklyn, and this kindergarten https://littlescholarsnyc.com/ is the best that I've found. Have you tried it? Is it worth it?
