A genuine love of literature has many advantages, though not everyone comes by this trait naturally. Studies show that the earlier a child is exposed to reading on a regular basis, the better their skills are likely to be. Girls tend to take to this easier, though with the right childrens book for boys, their interest can be piqued just as effectively.

On average, males show less interest in reading as they are prone to inattention and the need to be active, while females are better at controlling impulses and concentrating. This is a broad generalization, however, as extenuating circumstances create both reluctant and enthusiastic readers in each gender. Discovering why one has little to no interest in this activity is the first step to encouraging them to change.

The reasons a child may not particularly care to read can stem from many things ranging from an inability to comprehend concepts to dyslexia, or even an attention issue. The most popular excuse given by youth of all ages is that they can not find anything interesting enough to keep it from being boring. However, there are lists recommended by teachers and librarians that can surely help locate a title or subject that will spark the interest of even the toughest customer.

There are many varied topics geared primarily towards the interests of young males from toddler age to early adulthood. Some of these involve classic scenarios such as science, sports, mythology, history, vehicles and adventure, while others are more imaginative like dinosaurs, the supernatural, graphic novelizations, fantastical creatures and their worlds, aliens and Manga series. Finding one that is not boring should be no real problem.

Quite often, adults do not realize how serious a child's lack of interest in reading is or how important it is to try and encourage them to read even small articles in newspapers and magazines. Literary acuity is a key part of success in school as it leads to better skills in creative and critical thinking as well as those in comprehension, communication and writing. These children also tend to have above average vocabularies and a heightened imagination.

Mentors, teachers and parents have many options when it comes to instilling a desire for literature in children. It starts by reading aloud to them on a regular basis and taking time to discuss the story if the young one has any questions, encouraging them to know more. When done with excitement and frequency, this method has proven very effective.

Trying out many different subjects can help one to locate topics that are of particular interest to each child. Once this niche has been discovered, encourage them to seek out books of similar matter. The library can quickly become their most favorite place to visit and to discover new and exciting tales.

Throughout an individual's lifetime, the ability to comprehend the written word will prove to be a very valuable skill. It allows a person the opportunity to learn many new things, expand what they already know, take an exciting adventure, escape to a world of fantasy, explore the universe, visit different time periods or just relax a while. The mind is unleashed when this gift is opened.
