Good Morning everyone..
Was catching up the NUMEROUS POSTINGS.. :yikes: :nailbite:
While reading.. i was actually in the state of emergency mode.. y so? coz of the building up reading foundation part.. Frankly.. i've been quite a laidback mum.. or rather lazy at times as well.. :evil: But as i continue to read the postings.. i realised.. i really need to do something abt DS's reading habits.. as DD1 has no probs taking books out to read on her own.. while DS, he has to be told to take books to read.. n if the choice btw playing his toys or reading.. he rather play.. while DD1 will choose to read most of the time..
Though this days, i do read to them during bed time.. n for DS i spend like an hr a day to catch up on assessment bks/book reading.. whh i can tell he is not really interested.. simply have no idea hw i shld continue to make him interested in reading.. haiz.. -
Morning everyone…

Good morning kakis
Mintymin, you can leave bks around to pique his interest, get bks he is interested, DD1 is into princesses so have those girly bks.
I think also becos he is still building his reading skills, so maybe that’s why he is a bit "off" books? When he has mastered the blending, am sure he will be more interested.
Maybe he is more into non-fiction books? There’s a comic science series that’s quite popular and there’s the science mag, young scientist that’s easy to read. I have pop up machine book and body bks which DS is very interested.
Another indirect way to influence is that adults are seen reading too.
Sometimes, it takes awhile to build the interest. -
SAHM.. DS is only interested in reading books like u say.. comics.. or books with lots of pic.. he will usually browse it thru juz the pictures.. n will tell me.. he is done reading.. :slapshead: :stupid:

I bought story bk n young scientist for ds too…but it also depends on his mood to read. He used to bring the bk to cc, but now at basc he didn’t bring it. So only ask him to read when he is free…

On ya, I attended a talk once, one of the experts said that although more and more kids are reading at an earlier age, he still believe in reading at seven, the traditional age. So cheer up MintyMin, am sure you are doing fine.

Thanks SAHM for the encouragement.. Just hope it will get better.. hopefully by the time i move into a new plc.. i can do more w my kids in terms of reading.. n stop procrastinating abt it..

MintyMin, no worries, yr ds has lots of time on his side.
My ds1 is an avid reader now at the end of p2, but at the start of p1 yr, he was not much of a reader at all. I am a very laidback mum (didn’t even teach my kids the alphabet etc) and definitely didn’t read much to them, but i do have tons of books around and read a LOT myself. Looking back, i think ds1 just didn’t find the right material to interest him, but once he did, he took off like a rocket.
