1. Select children’s books with lots of pictures. Young children love pictures and pictures encourage children’s imagination. Intuitive reading is based on imagination. Take young children to the library often to offer them the opportunity to smell, touch, and “taste” the library environment. Make this a pleasurable experience so they can associate pleasure with reading.

2. Let the child “read” each book by describing the story from the pictures. Find books in the children’s section that offer large and colorful pictures. Encourage the child to “read” the story from the pictures. Make their interpretations correct by listening to them and offering them your undivided attention.

3. DO NOT read the stories to the child - let them be correct with their perceptions. We all like to be right and part of the Light-Speed Reading program is learning to trust intuitive processes. Allowing children to be right in their own perceptions encourages them in trusting their own intuition.

4. Lavish praise for their fine work. Be mindful to praise them in a way they prefer. Watch them to see that they accept the praise you offer them. For some children the words, “Very good!” come out sounding like, “Well, it’s about time you got it!!” For most children, your attention is praise enough for them to continue and grow. Make sure your language matches your heart when speaking to children - they know when your heart is not in your speech.
