Heya! So the last time I spoke about the ways to develop the habit of reading in your kids, i got a lot of queries over developing the habit of reading in Adults! So here you,
This post will help you become a reader!
1) Befriend like minded people:
This is the first step towards becoming a reader, surround yourself with people who are ardent readers, this will motivate you to pick up the reading habit in order to join in the discussion! If this seems hard, try making yourself a part of Facebook groups who promote reading, some of the FB groups are Hellys book club, page turners by buzzfeed , etc.
2) Carry a book Along:
While travelling or commuting to work/ college try carrying a book with you, you'll be surprised to find out that you'll actually begin to read during your journey!
3) Don't choose classics:
This is by far the worst thing you can do while you try to develop the habit of reading. Classics are really good, but they aren't great for beginners. The language used in them is quite difficult to understand and their concepts uphold a really deep meaning, if you still want to try your hands on some classics i would recommend to go on with easy one's such as The diary of anne Frank, the little prince, etc.
4) Utilise your spare time!
Most of the time when we are free, we tend to browse through our phones, social media and so on, but instead of that, utilise that time for reading, with this you'll ne able to undergo an 'INTERNET DETOX' for some time, you shall develop discipline and self control & in turn you'll begin to read more!
5) Start up with short and easy books:
The best way to develop the habit of reading is through read easy and short reads! You can try short stories! They'll help you read more in lesser time & will make sure that you get addicted to reading!!
That's all guys, hope you find these tips helpful.

ReplyDeletegreat list, practical approach to develop reading habit
ReplyDeletenice list and good approach
ReplyDeleteGood approach
ReplyDeleteIn order to create a reading habit and culture, it’s important to start off by setting a goal. This goal should be articulate and backed up with a purpose. Start by thinking about how a consistent reading pattern can help you grow in different areas of your life- spiritual, academics, career, relationships and more. When you find concrete reasons and a purpose attached to your goal, you’ll be more motivated to keep pushing and achieve it.
ReplyDeleteNice post.I totally agree with the first and last point.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pointers here. These are different from the usual.
ReplyDeleteTotally nailed it. Especially about not picking up classics initially. I have seen a lot of people do this and lose interest in reading.
ReplyDeleteGreat pointers. However, All classics are not bad for beginners. On my daughter's 11th birthday, i gave her Anne of Green Gables and The Black Beauty and fortunately she loved both of them. I think more than reading classics it depends what style of reading one prefers, Some instantly fall in love with classics...and some can't read them even after years of reading experience.
