How to Help Children Develop Good Reading Habits CBSE Schools in India

When we were young children, a fair share of our spare time was spent at the library. It seemed like such a magical place — literally — because it was where we got to read every single one of our favorite books. But nowadays, with the focus being more on technology than reading, and with parents who can’t imagine going inside a library (a public one, that is), it seems that good reading habits are withering away and becoming a thing of the past. Also, we have noticed that the child is becoming intellectually mature at an earlier age but the attention span that is required to get through a chapter in a book or even enjoy an episode of their favorite cartoon is decreasing.


So, to establish good reading habits in our kids, parents need to invest in creating the right environment at home to encourage it. When it comes to schools, school libraries play an important role in encouraging children to read. Schools encourage reading with storytelling and library programs. There are few CBSE schools in India that have implemented an effective reading program in their school libraries, which is why parents should be on the lookout for one when choosing a school for their child.

Children are like sponges. One of their strengths is that they absorb a vast amount of knowledge from interactions around them. The idea is to provide them with enough interaction to challenge and move them forward, but not too much that the information overwhelms them. Reading is one such interaction.
