Give your child the gift of time.
The best thing you can do to help your child become a successful reader is to read aloud together. Reading aloud builds vocabulary and shows children that reading can be meaningful and fun.
- Choose good books that challenge, inspire and entertain.
- Be patient-stop and answer questions and explain new words.
- Talk about the story.
- Don’t ever stop. Even older kids enjoy family reading time-if you choose the right books. Ask a teacher or librarian for suggestions.
