<h1> <center> Prioritizes learning to read  first before counting to children </center> </h1>

Hello Steemian
Every parent would want their children to grow up as smart and diligent individuals. People often interpret intelligently with good numeracy. to reach there many parents who want their children to be able to count quickly. As a result from an early age children are taught to like to count.
This situation is also very preferred by children. Children will feel happy when they can calculate correctly. Moreover, they can use fingers on their hands to count. So this activity is much preferred by children.
Unfortunately children who like to count have a tendency to dislike reading. This is certainly not a good thing and must be overcome by all parents. if left unchecked it will be bad when the child learns. They will only like the matter of counting without going to read the narration. They will have difficulty understanding reading. They will only want to work on numerical questions.

<h2> Learn to Read </h2>
Seeing the fact that we often experience if children prefer to count will cause lazy to read, then we need to prioritize learning to read and write first.
Before the child can read, we must introduce the letters and words with the right syllables. We can introduce letters with songs that are usually performed at kindergarten schools.
After children recognize new letters we can immediately make syllables in accordance with the language we use. If the child can read syllables correctly, teach them how to read words easily. the more often the child is trained the ability will increase.
to make children want to learn to read with enthusiasm we need to do a number of things

<b> 1. Make her heart cheerful </b>
If the child is happy, the child will be easy to learn. They will be enthusiastic in following what we teach. Psychologically children who are happy their memory will easily open. When this memory is open we can easily teach many things. Children will also feel that learning is not a burden but is a joy that will always be lingered.

<b> 2. Teach the easy one first</b> 
Children will feel happy if they feel they can and will ask to continue. But if the child already feels reading is difficult then he has closed himself to study.

<b> 3. Make fun repetitions </b>
When reading give the same syllables so that children will easily remember because it has been repeated often. if the child has not been able to learn much take it according to his ability. If the child is confident with his ability to improve with other material.

<b> 4. Need patience </b>
Teaching children is not easy. Children sometimes have time to feel bored or lazy. We must be patient and smart to motivate children to learn.

<b> 5. Use the game </b>
Children will feel happy learning when using games. Choose a game that has something to do with the subject. Ask the child to arrange words with existing letters or syllables. It could also use a scramble game. Who can take the letters correctly then he wins. As parents we must try to always almost win. Children always win. this will make the child more confident.

<b> 6. Give praise and reinforcement </b>
Praising children who are learning means to give appreciation. Children will feel more confident in their abilities. His face will look cheerful when he feels what he is learning is valued and considered successful. if the child is still wrong in reading, give reinforcement while reminding that he had read. Thus the child does not feel pressured.
Those are some things that can be done when our children are invited to learn to read. our hope when children learn subject matter will not experience significant difficulties.
Thus all my writing this time may be useful for all of us.
