Television commercials are carefully calculated to capture your children. Think about this. 

  1. Send your message to the child when he or she is still at a receptive age. Don’t wait until he’s seventeen to try to sell him chocolate breakfast cereal. Get him while he is five or six years old.
  2. Make sure the message has enough action and sparkle in it to catch and hold the child’s attention. Avoid dullness.
  3. Make the message brief enough to whet the child’s appetite, to make him want to see and hear it again and again. It should be finished before the child becomes bored.

 Now adapt this concept to reading.

  1. Read to children while they are still young enough to want to imitate what they are seeing and hearing.
  2. Make sure the readings are interesting and exciting enough to hold their interest while you are building up their imagination.
  3. Keep the initial readings short enough to fit their attention spans and gradually lengthen both.
