Easy Reading Activities for Children

• Language forms an essential part of our lives,
  and learning the basic concepts can be quite
  challenging for kids at an early age. Parents try
  to enforce them as a duty or a thing to be
  taught, which can sway some children away from
  reading or writing altogether. However, certain
  reading games for kindergarten kids can lead to
  entertaining concepts and improve their interest
  in getting to know a language better.
• Fun with Letters
• One example of a fun activity for kids is fun
  with letters. Children have traditionally derived
  significant enrichment and pleasure from copying
  words onto paper. Writing a child's name and
  having them copy it with stamps, stickers, and
  magnets help them learn how to spell their name
  using those tools in a fun and engaging way.
  Children typically have a lot of strange ways of
  performing this activity, including misspelling,
  random letter usage, and strangely holding the
  marker. It's fine at this age as the most
  important thing is to ensure that the child can
  communicate through any writing. Kangaroo Kids is
  a playschool in Dubai that does these activities
  for their kids to get the most out of their
  education.
• What does the word start with?
• Another example of a reading activity is "what
  word starts with..." This activity is great
  because children need to understand a
  letter-sound connection. It's one of the
  preliminary steps for reading and listening
  comprehension. Prefixing the word to enunciate
  with the sound helps them build the right
  relationship. Once the child guesses the
  relationship correctly, the goal is to determine
  how many words can be

produced with the same letter and sound.

• Make your child a storyteller
• Children are naturally talkative and
  inquisitive at this age. They also engage in
  storytelling activities resulting in a tremendous
  affinity for books and comics. Therefore, taking
  advantage of that makes for a great reading
  activity. Writing a book with a child is one
  example of that. Beginning with something simple,
  like a part of the child's day, to something more
  advanced like tapping into the child's
  imagination would be a great way to see their
  sentences on a page. To enhance comprehension,
  caretakers could read the story to them and take
  responsibility for illustrating it. Kangaroo Kids
  is a nursery in Dubai that performs these
  activities to better their little ones.
• Interactive Stories
• Interactive stories are another
  fantastic yet different way to read. It's called
  "dialogic" reading. This way, the children can
  participate in the story making the whole
  activity far more enriching and educational.
  Before progressing with a story, asking the child
  what they expect to happen next employs both
  their attention, analytical and forecasting
  facilities. This mode of storytelling can result
  in advanced cognitive development.
• Physical reading
• Enrichment can happen in multiple
  formats. Textbook learning isn't the only way to
  develop reading schools. Encouraging the use of
  other mediums like Play-Doh, sand, or clay helps
  them figure out how to engage with verbal
  activities through a completely different
  dimension and makes the task far more entrancing.
  Children should be encouraged to write in those
  materials whenever taken to areas like the park
  or beach.
• Non-fiction reading
• To set up the child for later
  education, they must step out of the realm of
  fiction. Getting children interested in
  nonfiction books is an essential part of that
  process. Taking children to the library and
  bookstore to find books on their favorite topics,
  whether cars, dinosaurs, dogs, or other
  subject-matter, help them develop an interest in
  the world around them. If successful, kids
  develop practical inquisitiveness at an early age
  which sets them up nicely for the future
• Babies, infants, and small children
  love the sound of the human voice, so there is no
  better activity to engage with them than through
  reading. Interactive books like books written
  primarily for babies with flaps and peek holes
  give them a different dimension to enjoy reading
  activities.

Allowing children to touch and hold books is an
essential part of the experience as well as they
can develop a more robust, physical connection to
the activity. Caretakers should read books to
children every single day. The sessions can be
brief to accommodate their attention span, but
they must occur daily to develop a great reading
habit. The reading activity allows the child to
connect books and the caretaker's attention,
affection, voice and closeness. Allowing the
children to be the book handlers in that activity
deepens that connection even further as they
assume some responsibility for the activity being
conducted. 8.Storytelling in the real
world While adults perform their
responsibilities, talking to the child about what
those responsibilities entail help develop a
level of understanding and interaction with the
household. When they help take out kitchen
equipment, for example, asking them to read out
what brand it is and other features help their
understanding of contributing to a household
while learning. Asking a swathe of questions
covering the standard gamut such as "what if",
"why" etc., will help them build on interactions
and relationships they observe within the stories
they see and the experiences they have. After a
child tells a story, asking questions to
understand the story better is helpful is it
helps them flesh out the story, think in a more
detailed manner and build on their literary
skill. That way, children can learn how to tell
complete stories and will appreciate the
caretaker's interest in what goes on in their
imagination.
