Tips for Reading with Your Children
Developing a love for reading begins at home. From the website
www.Seuss.com, we get some great tips for reading with your
children or grandchildren.
Get started with these 7 tips
1. Pick a comfortable spot to read in - one with plenty of light.
2. Make it a routine - whether it's right before the breakfast, or right
before bed, set aside a special time every day.
3. Give lots of encouragement! Read the words aloud to your child.
Point to the pictures. Say the words together. Laugh with your child.
4. It's never too early. Reading can be a bonding activity for you and
your new baby. Introduce reading in the very beginning, keep books
in the nursery and have your books out for baby and toddler to see!
5. The fun continues after the last page! When you finish a story,
ask your child about his/her favorite passages, characters, and
illustrations.
6. Imagine that! Encourage your child to make up another character
that might appear in the book. What would it look like? What would it
say? What would you call it?
7. When you’re driving with your child along a familiar route,
read the signs aloud. Make your next trip to the grocery store an
interactive one—read the names of food items aloud with your child.
Make up new ones!
Enjoy!
