DSL Providers Can Help Improve Your Child's Reading Skills

By Morgana Huffingtrap


Reading to your child at bedtime is something families have been doing for hundreds of years. Reading together offers many opportunities to learn about and grow closer with your child, not to mention resulting in the acquiring of new and sharpening of learned reading skills. Today, you can take advantage of your DSL providers connection to enhance bedtime reading.

The internet is a great place to find reading material for your child. And you might discover that many books you enjoyed as a child are available. In searching for new books for your child to read, you can try before you buy and preview chapters, which can help you decide if they're right for that next birthday or Christmas present.

You can choose to print out the books you find online, or bring your laptop into your child's room with you and read from that. But many experts caution against the use of computers before bed time, as they emit a blue spectrum of light that can disrupt your child's sleeping pattern.

Going online can also reveal free sources for children's books. Some books are even written by children themselves, which can make for a really interesting reading experience. Your child can be inspired by the talents of other children, and perhaps even stay in touch with their favourite child authors with a thank you email.

If you prefer a particular adult author for your child's reading time, checking into what other projects they may be involved in can result in the discovery of new music and movies as well. But be warned that this could lead to a large collection of books and movies!

If your child is of reading age, your online connection can help them better understand what they're reading. By using an online dictionary, thesaurus or encyclopedia, you can expand your child's knowledge of the characters and places in the books they enjoy.

Your child's school life may also benefit from the online books you find and read, as any one can become the subject of a reading assignment or book summary. Your child's teacher may also benefit from your online discoveries, finding new ideas for making reading fun for their students.

It is thought by many that going online to read or to find books results in something important being lost. But in reality, using the internet to either read books or complement them can result in a much richer experience for both you and your child.
