of reading ability. dont forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. dont comment about the books. simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. instead, you should take advantage of your childs love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so theres a chance youll create a new bedtime reading habit.many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible. often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. this change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. select books together, and make sure theyre ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.50. to make children become interested in reading, parents should _. a. tell them what they can learn from these booksb. choose books based on their interestc. choose the easiest books for them to readd. always read books together with them 51. which of the following is not what parents are advised to do? a. reduce childrens sleeping time. b. read to children when possible.c. have reading material available. d. pick the right computer games. 52. what attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games? a. supportive. b. negative. c. neutral. d. doubtful.53. the main idea of the passage is to _. a. help children
