Tips for Parents: Nurturing a Love for Reading in Children

St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit S107 is an early years, primary, and secondary school campus that caters to children from Nursery to Year 6, Year 7 to Year 13, and beyond. We even offer the internationally recognised Sixth Form education.

We wish to explore home learning’s contributions to academic and social-emotional competence in children. We stand by how applicable home learning is to the school’s own academic and holistic approach to learning. On that note, let’s discuss the value of children learning to read as early as possible.

The Positive Results of Nurturing a Love for Reading in Children

The establishment of a safe home learning environment that involves copious amounts of reading during bedtime or books involving your children’s most watched TV shows, video game characters, or Internet personalities can pay huge dividends for them down the line.

Furthermore, this sense of wonder, excitement, and safety should make your kids more secure about themselves and the concept of reading, to the point of reading books independently.

In any case, the benefits of nurturing a love for reading in children before and during their schooling are as follows.

  • Giving the School Experience Outside of School: They’ll gain more out of their school experience outside the home by continuing their reading and learning from within the safety of the home and with the support of their beloved parents or caretakers.

  • Supports Children’s Cognitive Development: Enticing the child to read early on before they step into school grounds helps with their cognition or the ability of children to think for themselves and figure things out.

  • Developing a Special Bond from Parent to Child: As a parent, you can develop a closer bond with your child or children by reading with them regularly. You can also impart your values to the child and influence their social-emotional competency.

  • Improves Children’s Language Skills: Reading books is a key skill to improving language skills. You as a parent can assist your children to recognise the link between the written word and the spoken word in terms of communication.

  • Increases Discipline and Concentration: Reading takes focus and discipline to accomplish. Instilling passion into children for reading will give them the patience to keep on reading to unlock its rewards, which are more knowledge or entertainment.

  • Boosts Creativity and Imagination: A child’s imagination is infinite at a young age. Let them play and explore with their creativity by reading and opening their mind’s eyes to many different worlds and colourful characters out there.

  • Preparing Children for Academic Success: The educational processes of St. Andrews Sukhumvit serve as a mediator between the beliefs and interests of the parents and the literacy plus the social-emotional competence of the children.

  • Cultivates a Lifelong Love of Reading: Parents should cultivate the child’s lifelong love for reading the right way, with children’s books and bedtime stories instead of having them learn their literacy through unfiltered Internet comments and chat speak.

We’re an international school that wishes to ensure the personal growth of our young wards within and beyond the classroom through skills like reading.

We’re all about infusing in them all the life skills they’ll need in the future for their college course choices and potential careers or livelihoods.

In Conclusion

St. Andrews International School is an advocate of a well-developed home learning environment filled with parents doing read-along sessions with their children, from bedtime stories to their personal collection of books about their beloved TV or video game characters.

This assists with the school’s holistic approach to education, which endeavours to give children a chance to develop not only academically but also socially and emotionally.

Incidentally, the Cognita school group—a multinational institute that owns and manages schools in the Americas, Europe, and Asia—is the organisation under which St. Andrews belongs. St. Andrews Sukhumvit is also one of many international schools under Cognita’s umbrella.

How Should Parents Contribute to the Child’s Educational Development?

Nurturing a love for reading in your children is not exclusively the responsibility of the school you’re enrolling them in. Rather, you should prepare them for the brave new world of academics by instilling in them a love for learning early on in their lives.

Self-sufficient individuals like self-made millionaires, career lawyers, businessmen, and entrepreneurs are known to voraciously consume at least 2-3 books monthly or 25-30 books yearly. Within thirty years, they’d consume nearly 1,000 books.

They particularly read self-help books or increase their knowledge of the world around them to assist in their growth and development. Many successful individuals—including billionaires—are voracious readers. In fact, Warren Buffet spent 5-6 hours reading every day, while Bill Gates read an astounding 50 books each year!

Instead of using television, the YouTube Kids app, or a tablet full of video games as a distraction to your kids while you’re busy, give them educational apps or buy books about their preferred shows or mascots to further beguile them with the magic of reading.

Here at St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit S107, we believe that reading can give children a head start on the development of their vocabulary, self-reliance, and self-confidence. It’s of great value for parents to instil and nurture a love for reading early on.

We holistically cover your child’s learning experience from academics to social-emotional development to better prepare them for higher learning and a future career locally or internationally.

How Should Parents Support Their Children’s Learning and Overall Development through Reading?

Parents need to help children associate reading with their quality bonding time. Make it a point as a parent to read to your children bedtime stories or buy books within their reading level to entice them with the wonders of reading.

Reading books aloud particularly helps very young kids read along, thus bringing the words to life. Discuss your bedtime stories together to allow them to associate the words in the book with the words they use in everyday conversation.

Ask your children questions such as, “What do you think of the story so far?”, “What do you think happened next?”, or “Who’s your favourite character?”

If your children are already of school age or in the early-years programme of St. Andrews Sukhumvit, you can even ask them to read a story to you instead!

“Instilling a love for reading in children helps them expand their knowledge through books about the world around them or develop their creativity and imagination.” (Teacher Quote)

Being a passionate reader should be hugely beneficial in the Information Age, where knowledge is available to everyone at the touch of a button.

Helping your children develop a love of reading at home, even if it’s for books like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, will assist in their future earning potential or at least lead to a more fulfilling and self-sufficient life.

We at St. Andrews Sukhumvit International School don’t support or believe in the notion of using the school as a substitute babysitter for child-rearing. We are not a daycare. It’s an educational institution meant to challenge a child who already has a passion for reading cultivated at home.

St. Andrews International School is an advocate of a well-developed home learning environment filled with parents doing read-along sessions with their children, from bedtime stories to their personal collection of books about their beloved TV or video game characters.

This assists with the school’s holistic approach to education, which endeavours to give children a chance to develop not only academically but also socially and emotionally.

Incidentally, the Cognita school group—a multinational institute that owns and manages schools in the Americas, Europe, and Asia—is the organisation under which St. Andrews belongs. St. Andrews Sukhumvit is also one of many international schools under Cognita’s umbrella.

How Should Parents Contribute to the Child’s Educational Development?

Nurturing a love for reading in your children is not exclusively the responsibility of the school you’re enrolling them in. Rather, you should prepare them for the brave new world of academics by instilling in them a love for learning early on in their lives.

Self-sufficient individuals like self-made millionaires, career lawyers, businessmen, and entrepreneurs are known to voraciously consume at least 2-3 books monthly or 25-30 books yearly. Within thirty years, they’d consume nearly 1,000 books.

They particularly read self-help books or increase their knowledge of the world around them to assist in their growth and development. Many successful individuals—including billionaires—are voracious readers. In fact, Warren Buffet spent 5-6 hours reading every day, while Bill Gates read an astounding 50 books each year!

Instead of using television, the YouTube Kids app, or a tablet full of video games as a distraction to your kids while you’re busy, give them educational apps or buy books about their preferred shows or mascots to further beguile them with the magic of reading.

Here at St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit S107, we believe that reading can give children a head start on the development of their vocabulary, self-reliance, and self-confidence. It’s of great value for parents to instil and nurture a love for reading early on.

We holistically cover your child’s learning experience from academics to social-emotional development to better prepare them for higher learning and a future career locally or internationally.

How Should Parents Support Their Children’s Learning and Overall Development through Reading?

Parents need to help children associate reading with their quality bonding time. Make it a point as a parent to read to your children bedtime stories or buy books within their reading level to entice them with the wonders of reading.

Reading books aloud particularly helps very young kids read along, thus bringing the words to life. Discuss your bedtime stories together to allow them to associate the words in the book with the words they use in everyday conversation.

Ask your children questions such as, “What do you think of the story so far?”, “What do you think happened next?”, or “Who’s your favourite character?”

If your children are already of school age or in the early-years programme of St. Andrews Sukhumvit, you can even ask them to read a story to you instead!

“Instilling a love for reading in children helps them expand their knowledge through books about the world around them or develop their creativity and imagination.” (Teacher Quote)

Being a passionate reader should be hugely beneficial in the Information Age, where knowledge is available to everyone at the touch of a button.

Helping your children develop a love of reading at home, even if it’s for books like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, will assist in their future earning potential or at least lead to a more fulfilling and self-sufficient life.

We at St. Andrews Sukhumvit International School don’t support or believe in the notion of using the school as a substitute babysitter for child-rearing. We are not a daycare. It’s an educational institution meant to challenge a child who already has a passion for reading cultivated at home.

The Positive Results of Nurturing a Love for Reading in Children

The establishment of a safe home learning environment that involves copious amounts of reading during bedtime or books involving your children’s most watched TV shows, video game characters, or Internet personalities can pay huge dividends for them down the line.

Furthermore, this sense of wonder, excitement, and safety should make your kids more secure about themselves and the concept of reading, to the point of reading books independently.

In any case, the benefits of nurturing a love for reading in children before and during their schooling are as follows.

  • Giving the School Experience Outside of School: They’ll gain more out of their school experience outside the home by continuing their reading and learning from within the safety of the home and with the support of their beloved parents or caretakers.

  • Supports Children’s Cognitive Development: Enticing the child to read early on before they step into school grounds helps with their cognition or the ability of children to think for themselves and figure things out.

  • Developing a Special Bond from Parent to Child: As a parent, you can develop a closer bond with your child or children by reading with them regularly. You can also impart your values to the child and influence their social-emotional competency.

  • Improves Children’s Language Skills: Reading books is a key skill to improving language skills. You as a parent can assist your children to recognise the link between the written word and the spoken word in terms of communication.

  • Increases Discipline and Concentration: Reading takes focus and discipline to accomplish. Instilling passion into children for reading will give them the patience to keep on reading to unlock its rewards, which are more knowledge or entertainment.

  • Boosts Creativity and Imagination: A child’s imagination is infinite at a young age. Let them play and explore with their creativity by reading and opening their mind’s eyes to many different worlds and colourful characters out there.

  • Preparing Children for Academic Success: The educational processes of St. Andrews Sukhumvit serve as a mediator between the beliefs and interests of the parents and the literacy plus the social-emotional competence of the children.

  • Cultivates a Lifelong Love of Reading: Parents should cultivate the child’s lifelong love for reading the right way, with children’s books and bedtime stories instead of having them learn their literacy through unfiltered Internet comments and chat speak.

We’re an international school that wishes to ensure the personal growth of our young wards within and beyond the classroom through skills like reading.

We’re all about infusing in them all the life skills they’ll need in the future for their college course choices and potential careers or livelihoods.
