      Why Do Children Struggle with Reading?

      If children are not read to, they often lack interest in reading when the time to learn to read is imminent. Children who do not see their parents read find reading a foreign concept to them. They do not realize that reading is a pleasurable experience. So these children start kindergarten at a disadvantage.

      If children have not been read to, they will not have a sense of story that develops as they hear stories read to them. Often children want to hear the same story over and over again. Hearing these stories often makes children want to read themselves. The stories intrigue them so that they seek more stories and think about how they could read those stories themselves.

      Often children lack confidence in themselves. They may see other children reading easily and wonder what is wrong with them that they are not reading. The longer it takes for reading to take place, the more their self-confidence erodes. They continue to blame themselves for their struggle.

      Children are sometimes afraid to take a risk. They just stop when they come to something they do not know. They do not predict what the word is because they are afraid they will be wrong. This fear of being wrong brings them to a dead stop. Willingness to take a risk is very important in learning to read.

      To want to read, children need an interest. Some children like trains, some like horses, and some like dogs or cats. When children realize they have an interest in a topic, they often begin to see the advantage of reading.

      If children do not have books in their home, they are unfamiliar with the wonder of books. Children need books. They need
