Learning From The Materials You Already Have

In a world where everything electronic and digital often takes center stage, books can get overlooked or pushed aside. In fact, some boys may prefer to challenge a friend in the latest video game over reading a chapter book. However, encouraging a child to read is worth the effort and can have a positive impact on their life.

Reduce your child's technology time

Taming the technology monster is a common problem parents have, and getting your child interested in reading can help. The key is to help your child choose books that are so interesting, they cannot put them down. Research reviews of several chapter book series and choose books to match your child's unique personality and interests.

Boost your child's confidence

Many small children enjoy listening to their parents or others read them picture books. Even for children who do not like to read, picture books can hold their interest. This interest in books can wane once a child must learn to read in school, especially if reading does not come easily for your child.

Once your child masters some basic reading skills, it will boost their confidence. You will find them getting excited about their new reading skill, which in turn will inspire them to read more books.  

Expand your child's vocabulary

Early reader chapter books will help your child expand their vocabulary as they learn new words. Learning new vocabulary words will help your child build a foundation that will serve them well in the future. Learning new words will broaden your child's ability and strengthen their reading comprehension, which will overflow into other areas of academic learning.

Build a positive social life

Sharing early reader chapter books with others is a fun way to help your child build a positive social life. Create a book swap, or help your child start a book club and encourage classmates or friends to join. Have each child choose a character to dress like, and do not forget to have plenty of delicious snacks on hand for book club meetings.  

When it comes to early reader chapter books for boys, there is no shortage in the number of interesting and exciting books to hold a child's interest. Whether the special boy in your life enjoys a great adventure or prefers a mystery, you will not have any trouble finding a series of books that will win your child over. You may even find your child prefers reading over playing their favorite video game.
