i have always wanted someone to read me a bedtime story when i was still a little kid. both my parents are busy so we are mostly left with nannies to care for us. one of my nannies was very patient and would tell me a story at night.
now that i have a child of my own, i make sure that i can read him stories during our nap times. some books like the ones from Ladybird have nice and colorful images that can get a toddler’s attention. it would just require us to be careful and go easy on a child so that he wont tear the pages. when reading, i try to have my son sitting next to me and i would point out the words as i say them. this way, he would know which word is being said. sometimes i would also challenge him to repeat the word i’ve read. I would be too proud if he gets them right of course. By reading this way and having an interaction while reading with my son, i am hoping that i can instill in his this habit of reading while he is still young. This interest and reading habits will do well as he is growing up.
