children's reading talent
Reading is a great key to much good in one's life, and the earlier the beginning, the better, and they believed when they said in the past, "Education at a young age is like engraving on a stone", the child is like an empty container, if it is filled with knowledge, it becomes light. Hence, we have some questions, including:
- Are babies born with genes that make some of them realize the magic and pleasure of reading at an early age and others don't? Do parents and teachers have a role in raising a reading loving generation? What do we do to make our children love reading? And should we help our children love reading?
- It is from these questions that we begin our journey.
- First, nine reasons why we should help our children love reading:
- As a child becomes passionate about reading, he will acquire a better sense of language, speak better, write better, and behave better.
- Reading expands the child's scientific output, which makes his education easier, through reading books and novels, he learns facts about the events of history, the names of countries and the culture of their peoples, and he learns about politics and science as well.
- The queen of reading enables the child to withstand trauma and personal problems without significantly affecting his academic level, unlike that of a child who is not read.
- Reading the child with passion gives him the ability to imagine and farsightedness, after he sees life through the description of many writers, he knows several ways to look at situations, sees things from different angles, and therefore is broad-minded, and has flexibility in thinking.
- Reading informs the child of a world full of opportunities and possibilities, he may read a story in which he excites the love of flying, for example, so his dream becomes to be a pilot one day, and things may be prepared for him after that and he becomes a real pilot.
- No matter how limited a child's world is, reading makes them go wherever they want, dreaming of anything they like.
- Reading develops in the child the queen of sound thinking, unlike listening, as information comes in the form of tones of voice, reading is much better than watching the video as well, because when the child reads he imagines the events and characters of the story, unlike the video that does not urge it.
- Reading accustom the child to follow complex discussions, and to understand complex issues. He then has a sound opinion on this, and thus becomes someone who is able to lead his life and take responsibility for his family afterwards.
- The fun of life increases for the child, so you find him smiling when reading a humorous story, and feeling excited when reading a fairy tale. The child interacts with reading and life becomes more beautiful.

Second: Five ways to make your children love reading:
1) Keep in mind that your goal in teaching children is to endear them to reading.
It is known that children who do not like to read acquire a small amount of education, and cannot excel even if they are provided with the best schools, so they find their results poor in tests, and thus generate a sense of dullness and disappointment, which may push them to settle for basic education, or they may completely distract from school.
As for children who love to read and therefore love to study and read, you find them gaining a great deal of education, even if they are in low-level schools, you do not find them standing at obstacles, but rather continue, and you may find some of them are not only satisfied with the undergraduate stage, but may complete their career in graduate studies, and therefore will have a greater share of self-esteem and society's appreciation of him, and have a greater chance of achieving career and leadership progression.
2) Show your children that you value their reading in practice, not just talking
We find some parents motivate their children to read just by talking, and this is not enough, but you must buy books as much as you can, fill the house with them, go to the library and allocate time to read with them, and you also have to talk about the books you love and enjoy reading in front of your children, you are their role model, and thus this will increase family bonding.
You should also practice with your children some activities related to books such as visiting libraries and bookstores, going to book fairs, and on occasions such as birthdays, for example, you can put a book with the gifts you give.
3) Find books that your children like
You should take the initiative to find the right reading material for your child, as the child does not think that there are books and magazines about new things that may be of interest to him. Look for books of stories of the prophets, books of games and hobbies, books of art and drawing, books on how things were made, and other useful books.
Always keep in mind that just liking one or two books at first can stretch them into a general reading lover. So this is your mission, my friend, to find books that attract your children to read.
4) Never despair, no matter how old your children are, no matter how old they are, they can learn to love reading
Suppose you handled your children wrongly, and it wasn't your goal to make them love reading, and you put them a TV and mobile phone instead of a book, that's not the end of it. You undoubtedly love your children and want them to be good, so think about what you are going to do now where there is no point in settling for yourself. Get started now.
The good news is that sometimes you may find it easy to get older children to read, and there are an unlimited number of books and magazines to read. With young children, the options are limited, and older children have more time to develop their skills, and when they find books that match their interests and inclinations, they will immediately accept them.
5) Finally, don't worry if your children have had periods when they stop reading
It's great if your children read passionately all the time, and don't get distracted from reading during high school or college, but in practice it can't. Most children go through periods in their lives when they have other interests, and then you should not complain or blame them, because they will return to reading when they have time.
The end:
Raising children is a great mission and honesty, and we will all be asked about his flock. Raising children not only means guaranteeing them food, drink and clothing, which is certainly necessary, but just as you seek to satisfy their stomachs, you must also seek to satisfy their minds and souls.
We always find in our lives that the source of parents' satisfaction and pride in their children is in the amount of mental and spiritual superiority they reap, not just physical superiority.
In the end, my friend, we want to raise generations that love reading and culture, and then useful science that benefits the entire nation.
I hope I have provided you with something useful.
Greetings.
