The teacher’s objective is not so much checking if a book has been read but rather support

reading. Group work may be used where children have to stage a play, make a poster, an

advert, presentation, poem, rap song etc. This type of creative activity reduces tension in
children and increases interest in reading in those who are reluctant readers.

Parents should be asked to analyse the proportion of reading books in hard copy and using a

computer. It is important to listen to their account without judgement and with acceptance,
since only in the situation of trust might one discuss the importance of playing outdoors,

communicating with other children and reading books besides sitting at the computer.

Children are not very good at regulating their media consumption, overconsumption may
cause hyperactivity and anxiety. The younger the child, the more difficult it is for them to

process information, which in turn causes problems in focussing and creating links.

The path to learning to read is natural for our children and adults around them can make the

path smoother or bumpier. Cooperation between family and teacher can be amazing and
encouraging and the happier the adults are, the happier is the child

Mida noorem on laps, seda keerulisem on tal oma meediakasutust ja ekraaniaega ise reguleerida.
