Do you remember your first visit to where the wild things are? Or
curling up for hours on end to discover the secret of the
Sorcerer's Stone, or the fate of the "one ring to rule them all?"
So now, as parents, how do you instill in your kids that timeless,
time-stopping, and extremely valuable joy of reading? Written by
Pamela Paul, who oversees all book coverage at The New York Times,
and Maria Russo, the children's book editor at the Times - and
inspired by their 2018 article that went viral instantly, reaching
hundreds of thousands of Times readers - How to Raise a Reader
combines clear practical advice, wisdom, inspiration, tips, lists,
and insider know-how to give parents all the tools they need to
instill a love of reading in their children. Divided into four
sections that correspond to the child's age and reading level, from
baby to teenager - and whimsically illustrated by a different
children's book artist per section - each page of the book offers
something useful: how to develop rituals around reading, best ways
to make reading a family activity, how to engage a reluctant
reader, why not to push Harry Potter too early, building a library.
There are "Pro Tips for Reading Out Loud," "What to Look for in
Middle Grade Graphic Novels," "When Teenagers Take Reading
Time-Outs," and so much more. Including an extensive final chapter
listing "Books to Love by Theme and Reading Level," an invaluable
reference for parents, grandparents, and even kids looking for
their next book. School is where children learn they have to read.
Home is where children can learn to love to read - and become
readers. And reading, as experts now know, is essential to
developing those life skills, like self-regulation and executive
function, that make us all-around happier and better adjusted.
