Reading Tips

Reading with children is a special way to spend time together and helps young children to build a vocabulary and understand the world around them.

When reading a book to your child:

Turn off the TV, find a comfortable space to be together, and enjoy sharing the pleasure of a special story. Set aside a time each day to share a book or two together!

Show your child the front of the book (the beginning) and the back of the book (the end).

With your child, look over the cover of the book and ask him what he thinks the story will be about.
