In this era of digitalization, we all want our kids to be smart, right? One of the secrets to being a smart kid is to love reading.

Reading is like opening the door to secret knowledge, making their concentration top-notch, plus their imagination gets even better. But amidst the onslaught of gadgets and TV shows, encouraging our kids to read can be a real challenge.

Worry not, worry not. As cool parents, let's take a look at some powerful tips to turn our kids into bookworms:

1. Create a Cozy Reading Corner!

How can reading be fun if the place is not nice? So, prepare a special reading space at home. Make it comfortable and quiet. Fill it with colorful and interesting books that are appropriate for your child's age. Take your kids to the library or bookstore so they can choose their own favorite books.

2. Mom & Dad Are Reading Experts!

Kids love to see the habits of their parents. So, show them that reading is cool! Take the time to read together. Discuss the content of the book, and also share your experiences as a child when you loved to read.

3. Choose Books According to Your Kids' Tastes

To make them enjoy reading, give them books that match their interests. For young children, choose colorful picture books with easy-to-understand stories. Later, when they are older, introduce them to longer storybooks with a variety of themes.

4. Gadgets Can Help You Read!

In addition to ordinary books, e-books can also be a fun option. Find interactive reading apps that teach them a lot. But remember, limit gadget use and accompany your kids when they are reading e-books.

5. Let's Read While Playing!

To make it more enjoyable, invite your kids to read aloud. Change your tone of voice for each character to make the story more exciting. Playing guessing games or stories based on the books they read is also fun!

6. Great Kids, Must Be Appreciated!

Don't forget to give praise and small gifts when your kids have finished reading. Reading stars or other prizes can be a motivation for them to continue reading diligently.

7. Reading is Important for Everyday Life!

Invite your kids to read the instructions for new toys, recipes, or information boards in public places. This way, they will understand that reading is very useful for everyday life.
