Reading helps students enhance vocabulary and comprehension. It exposes them to new words and stories, which also enriches their imagination. 

Even if little children aren’t able to read yet, reading can help invigorate their love for the habit. 

An English enrichment programme helps promote a love of reading. Here are some ways on how instructors do it, which you can also try at home.

  1. Reading to students

Children learn best by what they see around them. To encourage reading, instructors read to students a lot.

Showing that reading is fun helps students to also grow interested in it. Silent reading is good, but even better is the opportunity to read together aloud. 

An English enrichment programme includes this activity and you can also carry it out with your little ones. Storytelling can turn out to be one of their most favorite activities with you. 

  1. Focusing on reading as a fun activity

Instructors always emphasise the fun factor in reading. Making it seem and sound like a chore may only push students away. 

During English enrichment classes, teachers allow children to choose the reading materials they want. The selection of reading materials varies so children can also be exposed to different topics and content types. 

This helps students realise their earliest passions or interests and at the same time, understand things around them. You may find that your child is more inclined to certain subjects.  Or you may notice that they’re becoming more curious about other cultures. 

Consuming different materials also helps children develop critical thinking. They’re able to process information more thoroughly and from there make better everyday decisions.  

The variety allows instructors to introduce something new during each class. This helps keep students from feeling bored as their exciting discoveries build up and they start to look forward to more. 

  1. Socialising while reading

Instructors may also use reading activities as a way to allow students to socialise or communicate with people around them. They may talk to their students about the books that they read and their favorite ones. 

They may also recommend new books not only to students but to parents as well. English enrichment classes also encourage interactions between students to make reading more enjoyable. 

Reading is always focused on as a pleasant and positive experience rather than a task that needs to be accomplished.

  1. Assuming nothing

Instructors get to know their students through reading activities. 

They don’t assume a student’s reading abilities, preferences, or skill level. They also think about factors that can affect a student’s appreciation of reading materials. 

For instance, children may not understand a story fully if they have not experienced it themselves. Instructors stay patient and ask questions to help students build up comprehension and interest in reading.

An English Enrichment Programme Helps Grows Love for Reading 

Enrolling your child in English enrichment classes can help them appreciate reading and see it as an experience-rich habit. 

With guidance from their instructors, they can improve reading, writing, social, and communication skills. 

Instructors can also work with you, as parents or guardians, to keep the momentum going.
