The advantages of developing a reading habit among children are varied, and the experience of raising a reader is very satisfying. It is important to choose books appropriate to the age of your children, as books play an important role in developing and cultivating children’s personalities and polishing them in various ways.
In this post, we highlight how to choose books for different ages. It is worth noting that the Sharjah Children’s Reading Fair will be open from May 19 to 29, 2021, where Austin Macauley Publishers will present to you multiple activities at the fair and wonderful recommendations for the best books to read.
Book selection strategy
1- First of all, it is necessary to know the type of topics and interests that your child is interested in, and choosing the topic and type of book will be the first step for the child to benefit in the future.
2- Once you take a proper look at the front cover you will be able to know if it is the right choice for your child, and a brief reading of the first pages is also a good idea.
3- If the child has recently read, having a list of these books will help in choosing the appropriate book.
4- Try to read the age guidelines correctly before choosing the book.
5- You must be careful to look far to analyse the potential benefits of reading a particular book.
