A teaching staff of Athalia School, Tangerang, Indonesia. If someone the ability to read, does not mean he has read directly interested. Reading ability and reading interest are 2 kinds of different things. Many schools to educate in the developing countries fight their society to be able to master the reading skills. For example, in Indonesia, some parts of society still no way, because of their poverty or educational opportunity because they always live in a very remote area to read. Many people in developing countries is still facing the basic needs like food, clothing and housing, so they have no idea or the money for books, and for education. Because of this situation, the culture of reading habits far from their reach. Even if some of them already have a better life, their thoughts are still on something that is more real, functional, comforting, money value, or something that their prestige, such as jewelry, hand-held mobile phones, improving housing and luxury cars can be concentrated, expensive toys, etc. As the culture of reading is not yet formed the company to spend most of their free time watching TV or chatting. has realized for some families, the most important books and education, it is still for them to increase the reading interest and habit of their children because they make more money for the purchase of books, which are more expensive to spend hard. Libraries are rare. Many schools have no libraries. But there are some ideas to help children improve reading habits in the middle of the non-ideal condition. First, given that reading habits is important for you and your children, start the reading habit in the family, without the guilt about the situation around you. Your habit will, sooner or later affect your environment. Read your child daily or regularly to their reading habits and their love for books form. It does not matter if you only ten minutes a day. You are also a good effect. Let your children know you enjoy the time you share with them for reading. They both love the time for reading and the time to fix it with you. Second, tariffs for books in your budget. It does not matter whether you stay for just a little money you can afford. The important thing is to plan and budget for it routinely every month. You and your children should frequently visit bookshops Book Fair. Third visit all the libraries that let in your neighborhood, schools, universities, clubs, etc. visit the children their love for books, libraries will increase. Fourth, reduce the cost of books when you can share your books with your friends, relatives or neighbors. Sharing books we will increase our knowledge in a cheaper way. You can hold a book club where you and the other members (adults and children) may bring their collection of books and share them. Fifth, you can create your own books. Reading books does not always mean to buy books. We can borrow them, share them or they us. Children will be thrilled when you make a personal book made especially for them. You can view your photos, handmade images, etc to make the book. You can glue the photos or pictures on some sheets of white paper, then write some comments about them. You can find the photos at the birth of the child until he grows. You can also cut and paste the brochure from the hospital where the baby is born, the book was finished. You or your kids can draw something on that books, too. You can use the photos of grandpa, grandma or another relative to their large family, introduce your kids. You can also add some pictures that reveal stick your culture or the customs of your society so that the children learn about their ancestors' culture and tradition. The handmade books can be varied in theme. You might want to do your children about your work and what you as you tell them off. You can see some pictures of your office, your friends, your projects, take place visited, etc. and make a book that pictures. The children will be happy and trust, with them, what do you do when they do miss you. It is especially for women, the career of their children can often important. It's cheap, but excited when you ask your children to make their own books. You can draw or cut pictures from magazines and write their own stories of their imagination. If your children are too young to write, you can ask them to tell you the stories of the pictures and write it for them. Then read the books for them. They are very proud of them. Collect for yourself, a lot of information from newspapers, magazines, Internet, brochures and other printed materials to an overload of the provided information. For example, like when you cook, you can collect a lot of recipes from many resources and their own recipes that you write or type. Bundle this information to your personal cookbook. If you need information about technology, you can also do the same thing, although you have to work harder to gather more information. The key is to prevent the books without a financial problem and that your enthusiasm for reading. There are many ways to collect and information. Sixth, there is another way that children have interests in book. Ordinarily, you would children's cartoon movie like "Nemo, Lion King, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh" or there may be some traditional legends, puppets or stories that children love very much. It is very interesting when they see the movie or show and then read the books. The books can be purchased or homemade. Seventh, it is creative, if the story you read in order to dramatize your children. For example, if the story is about a king and a queen, you can pretend to be the king and your child is the queen. You can pile up some pillows as your throne and wear a hat as your crown. You and your children can also roar like lions when there are few lions in history. Kids will love to do that. You can do whatever the story goes, too. For example, the story going through the zoo, you can go to the zoo, too. Or if the history of fruit, you can at the market or the supermarket, go to observe them. Put the information in the story in reality or an action. Eighth give books as gifts for your children instead of toys. I do not mean that toys not good for children. I think educational toys are very important for children, but you should introduce books as gifts, so that to respect the children's books as precious gifts. You can give the books for your children as their birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or if they perform well in school. Ninth to be your reading habits example for your children, because actions speak louder than words. If your children see you reading frequently, they will know that reading is a good habit that Mom and Dad often do. As if you do not like to read, but she realized that reading is very important for your children?. It is a fact that many adults do not like to read, but there are some tips that you can do to overcome this problem. Find the books that are appropriate to your hobbies. If you love to cook, read many books about recipes or cooking. You can hunt your favorite novels. Talk is that books are important because they are in your way, your knowledge can expand capabilities and even enhance your career and give you relaxation. Turn on your TV, because in general, more time to watch TV, what we plan. Place the books on the places that's easy to see and access in your bedroom, living room, kitchen, car, etc. Ask your friends what books they are reading or books that good in their opinion are. They are more motivated when you hear that your friends, they are promoted to you. Make a list of what books you have read and what books you plan to read. You will be satisfied if the list to be longer. Visit the book stores, book fairs and libraries. The best thing to do, do it now! Do not wait until you have enough time or until you think you want to do it later. Tenth, make sure that books and reading habits of one of your priority because you know the benefits of them. Of books can be a lot of knowledge to introduce your kids. There is no limit of knowledge, if we can learn from us by reading both books, or from the Internet. Do not wait until your child can read to them books. Start when they were born. If you communicate with your baby often and read stories for them to increase their language skills. Although not been able to answer you in words, they absorb the words you speak to them (Beck, 1997). They not only fiction books for children, although they usually like fiction with cute images like Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse. You'll also be thrilled if they do not give fiction books such as books of knowledge, such as books about the human body, solar, marine, introduce, etc., to the knowledge, since they very young, making them the knowledge and what are their curiosity will increase, too. In addition, through books we can teach our children about some concept, value or belief. If it is difficult to tell them not to cheat, you will find a children's book with interesting pictures, which includes the moral teaching regarding fraud. I have an experience with my little boy when he was afraid of the dentist. Before visiting the dentist, I read him a book about going to the dentist. It's a funny story because the dentist is a tiger and the patient is a little tiger. The little tiger is very brave to see the dentist. This book was my son has enough to the dentist because he was a brave little boy to be like the little tiger was courageous. But remember that only good books should you and your children, as some books can be very destructive if they are not suitable to read with your value or belief. For example, there are many books that can of pornography and violence that affect you and your children the spirit contains. You have to read very selectively or what books for your children, because our mind is not like a computer. You can delete some data in your computer, but you can not delete the information or your children's imagination spirit. If you think that your children have already been wrong like books, they do not stop directly to their habit of reading to stop. Instead, they influence your opinion, they should be able to decide which books are good and the books are not so that they can not resist. Get them from the beginning that they can choose their books but give them some restrictions on what books are acceptable, the books are not and know your reason for this restriction. It is a further advantage of the books. You can use it to teach your children foreign languages. Children's brains absorb language more easily than adults (Beck, 1997). If you take your small children live abroad, they will master the language when they communicate with children from other countries. When a child is raised by a couple of different nationalities, the child will be able to speak two languages of the parents. I know of a child whose father is Japanese and mother is an Indonesian. This child master Japanese and Indonesian. going to rush because of the children to new languages, you can introduce books in foreign languages and history teach them the language. Perhaps you yourself know very little about this language but if you read only it can for them, the vocabulary and language structures of them will remain in memory. I'm an Indonesian. I read my son English history books when he was 3 years old. I have read the books again and again and then he can repeat the story of his own, as if he can read it. He can also repeat the structures in a daily conversation. For example, the book says "The cat can eat. Cat can drink '. While he ate, what he could say: ". I can eat, I can drink" There is another book that says, "Teddy is flying higher and higher." While he played, he climbed on a chair and then he jumped to the ground to say "I can fly higher and higher." I think the influence of books is very prominent. The most important thing is, you need a simple story book, which is a large picture and some words or sentences, and repeat the story many times, as long as your children got bored found. You can choose what language do you introduce your children. Just find the simple story books, and repeat it at regular intervals. Sooner or later he will see remember the vocabulary and structures. There are many benefits of the books, but you do not always buy them. As explained above it, you can share them or borrow them from him. Use your imagination to produce your simple drawings. Or use the images from newspapers or magazines to make your own books. Arrange the pictures and the words to your liking, and you will be your personal collection of cheap but creative have for your children and yourself made. The value can not be compared. So do not wait until you have enough money to buy books or wait until you have enough time to read or to wait until your children are big enough to have even read books. Start now! No matter the condition of the financial problem. If you invest your time and your children time to read good books, invest better future for your family.
