Read kiddy read

There’s a popular ‘21/90 rule’, which states that it takes 21 days to create a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle. Once a habit forms, it normally stays throughout life.

One such habit that should be introduced during a child’s formative years, preferably in kindergarten days, is the habit of reading. Reading books, newspapers, etc should be made fun and invigorating thereby triggering curiosity. To make it a habit, it must be routine and engaging. Children should be encouraged to explore genres that pique their interest. In the process, they should also try to grasp knowledge on other subjects that could aid in forming a well-rounded personality. Gifting books to celebrate achievement has been known to spur children to do even better in their vocations and also inculcate a zeal to read. Savvy use of technology e.g. audiobooks has been found helpful to goad reluctant readers.
