The parents are interested in promoting learning through reading to their 8-year-old son. Which of the following suggestions by the nurse would best promote this goal?
A) Have the parents choose what he should read initially
B) Tell the child to read instead of watching TV with his parents
C) Tell the parents reading is for the child to do by himself
D) Take the child to the library to check out some books
D
Response:
Taking the child to the library can be a positive start to the reading experience. It is best to let the librarian recommend books that will be appropriate for the child, but to let the child choose from the recommended materials. Set an example by reading instead of watching TV while the child is not in bed. Reading to the child is a valuable parent–child activity that can expose the child to classic works that are beyond the child's present reading ability.
