Television in Partnership with Reading, Chapel Hill Apartment Living
Television began around the late 1800′s but it wasn’t perfected until the early 1940′s. Needless to say, it has been out a lot longer than the internet but not longer that reading books. However, the reputation of television, even with over 4 billion views world wide, has gotten worst over the years for being a huge wast of time. I read an article that drew a very interesting connection between TV and Reading.
There are lots of TV shows on today that are very educational. Parents if we spend more time with our children watching TV shows while sharing predictions as to what will happen next or discussing the show over the commercial break it will help to build our children’s thinker and develop comprehension.
Here are a few idea’s on how TV can help viewers tune into reading:
Television and Reading
As you sit in your apartment and watch movies with your kids identify something that can be used as a catapult for reading. Then you can go to the Chapel Hill Public Library and check out books on the subject or do internet research to learn more about it.
Ask your child to come up with a educational TV show concept. Have them to write it down and help them to grow their ideas, even acting it out can now serve as an educational family night.
You can go to the International Readers Association for more great ideas about reading and free downloadable pdf’s.
