Websites to Develop Reading Habits in Unmotivated Kids – Without Your Insistence

“What can I do to develop reading habits in my kids?” This is perhaps one question that constantly troubles you. You are not an exception if you are asking yourself this question because there are many parents who feel the same. They are confused about what can be done and what kind of content will hold their kids’ interest for long. If you have already tried comic books, pictorial content, and even used the allure of candies, incentives and awards, but all in vain, then try these out. We have rounded the following websites that have been designed to motivate even the most apathetic kids to get started with reading. This is how these websites work in developing reading habits –

Leading to Reading

If you want your preschooler to become an avid reader, why don’t you add a dash of games, music, lullabies and loud sounds, videos, rhymes, etc., that attract kids the most? Yes, that’s why the Leading to Reading website has been largely used by teachers and parents to get kids to start with reading. The website lays different sections for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers to help you choose age-specific and appropriate content for your youngsters. You can easily alternate from stories to videos, rhymes, articles to ideas and also lullabies before going to bed. The website also offers a gamut of downloadable coloring pages that can help in teaching alphabets. The site can be translated into Spanish for kids from Spanish families.

Starfall

Starfall is said to be the best kept secret for many parents and teachers who have successfully transformed unenthusiastic kids into book lovers. Starfall comes with a complete package that will let you keep navigating from alphabets to sound recognition that ensures comprehension and fluency. The website works with children of all levels from 2nd grade onwards to English language learners. The site is divided into four levels such as ABCs, Learn to Read, It’s Fun to Read, and I’m Reading that teaches kids to master fluency in alphabets, vocabulary, and grammar.

At the same time, you can also try Storyline Online (if you want your kids to develop interest in biographies and high quality literature) and Read Write Think (to get resources for kindergarten kids as well as for kids of twelfth grade). These sites include games, activities, project ideas, tips and how-to’s, podcasts, printed materials, etc., to encourage every group of kids.

    This article is spot on. there have been studies linking reading to listening to music and games. Many video games now are sort of a “visual novel type,” where the player just reads and reads and then choose an action to continue the story, and then proceed to read.
