Do Kids Need a Reading Programme?

English is one of the most widely spoken languages and is pretty popular as the world’s business language. Fluency in reading, writing and speaking English opens up far more local and international avenues for people. English language skills help a child to achieve success in their academic life and beyond. And the first step toward communicating correctly in English is developing good English reading skills. Developing English language skills is, therefore, essential in today’s world. 

Several college and university entrance procedures lay great emphasis on reading and oration skills, and good language skills would definitely help you make the shortlist. Learning English reading skills from an early age contributes to better oratory and vocabulary, two confidence-boosting aspects among the extensive list of interpersonal skills. The earlier we start this process of language skills development, the more proficient children become with the language in later years. Undoubtedly, English reading development for kids is a prerequisite to broadening their horizons and helping them aim for better careers. 

Better reading and comprehension skills are also essential aspects of creative writing for kids. It helps children’s overall academic performance. For instance, as academicians, we have often encountered children who lack proficiency in mathematics. Upon a closer analysis of many such children, we have realised that the issue is not an absence of mathematical aptitude but a lack of reading and comprehension skills. Supporting evidence from the University at Buffalo suggests that Reading Skills Affect Everything, Even Math. Without the ability to read and comprehend, there is little that children can do in other areas of academics. Especially when the medium of instruction is English, early development of English reading skills becomes a must.

Besides, the better a child’s English reading skills become, the more interested they become in reading as well. This works much like the concept of ‘the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer’. We may also call it the ‘Matthew effect in reading’. Reading is a surefire way of expanding their repository of knowledge and ideas. Then again, the earlier we strengthen their reading skills, the sooner we help them develop the golden habit of reading regularly.

At Classcapades, we realise that although parents desire to hone their children’s reading skills, they may not be equipped with the skills and tools to do the same. In some cases, we have also had parents complain about how compelling children to read at home had led to rebellious attitudes towards reading. That is where our English reading development programmes come in. Our Young Readers’ Programme for Sr. KG students and the Budding Readers’ Programme for students in grades 1 and 2 employ well-researched methods and specialised tools along with a robust curriculum for children’s reading development. 

So, without much ado, begin your child’s English reading development journey today.
