RAR #205: Help! My Child Doesn’t Like Reading
Manage episode 328239382 series 2127215
When Mandy called in to ask about her daughter, who likes to be read to, but doesn’t really enjoy reading herself, I was all ears.
If you can relate, consider: when your child was 2, 3, 4 … did he/she like being read to?
Most small children LOVE being read to. They climb right into your lap and relish every minute.
It’s about the story, yes, but it’s also about the connection.
We really, really want our kids to love reading. So naturally, we worry when they don’t.
I wonder if that same connection is what our non-reading kids are actually seeking.
We’re often tempted to think our kids are lazy, or aren’t true readers, but laziness is rarely at play here (especially in the case of a dyslexic child).
So why don’t some of our kids love reading? And what on earth can we do about it?
That’s what I’m addressing today on the podcast from a mama who suspects her child may be dyslexic, and worries that she doesn’t enjoy reading.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why kids may prefer being read to (hint: it’s not because they’re lazy!)
- Whether it’s OK to do a lot of reading aloud to older kids (short answer: heck yes)
- How different modalities make reading accessible at a different level
