Tips For Parents Who Read With Their Children


  

Here are some tips for making reading more fun and successful


  • Sit together in a nice spot where both of you will be comfortable
  • Make sure both of you can see, touch and experience the book
  • Notice the picture on the cover of the book; what clues does it give you about the book?
  • Who is the author? Have your read other books or stories that you've liked by the same author?
  • Take turns, each reading pages or certain sections
  • Take time to talk about the pictures, and others things that both of you like about the book
  • Use your finger and glide under each word as you read along
  • At the end of the story, review what it was about.
  • Try another book if you are both still keen.  Don't push or force, try to simply have fun and enjoy!
