What makes a reader




















Do you think that this idea is right? This is perhaps the most important and most misunderstood aspect of becoming a "good reader. If a child does not enjoy reading, it may result in lagging reading skills. But, very often, a disinterested reader can read quite well, and just doesn't want to. On the other hand, a struggling reader might love to read, and just lack the skills at the moment to read productively.

But, with more practice comes better reading skills, so whether a child is disinterested or struggling, the more time spent reading, the better. Charlotte Mason said that one of the most important habits that we can give to children throughout their education is the habit of reading.

Knowledge is conveyed to them by lessons and talk, but the studious habit of using books as a means of interest and delight is not acquired. This habit should be begun early; so soon as the child can read at all, he should read for himself, and to himself, history, legends, fairy tales, and other suitable matter.

He should be trained from the first to think that one reading of any lesson is enough to enable him to narrate what he has read, and will thus get the habit of slow, careful reading, intelligent even when it is silent, because he reads with an eye to the full meaning of every clause. So, maybe the habit of reading spurs an interest in reading, and that interest will carry the child through both their academic and non-academic reading through childhood, adolescence, and beyond.
