糖心原创 expert’s tips for reluctant readers

What happens when your child doesn’t like reading and isn’t motivated by seemingly fun events such as Book Week?

Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy’s Professor Genevieve McArthur has penned a piece for The Conversation providing expert advice for families struggling with reluctant readers.

Professor McArthur’s piece outlines common reasons behind a child’s dislike of reading, how parents can identify the root cause, when to seek specialist help, and what families can do at home to help.

Tips include ensuring books are engaging and aligned with a child’s interests, are at the right level, and that children have meaningful reading goals to aim for.
