activities & resources

• Read to your child each day from birth to upper elementary.  It's important to model good reading habits and build a love for reading.

• Let your child choose the book...even if you've read the book a 'million' times. If they are asking to read, make the time to read with them.

• Make reading interactive by talking about the story as you read. Starter questions could include:

  • • What does this story make you think about?

    • How do you think the character is feeling? Why?

    • What do you think will happen next?

    • Have your child find a specific item in a picture or word on a page. 

• Take turns reading pages of the story with your child. 

• Read the story in silly voices or even turn off the lights and use a flashlight.

• Find a comfortable place to read with your child - in a tent or on the floor.
