Reading Fun
Read Regularly - Try to read to or with your child for 10 - 15 minutes each evening. This is a great way to spend a little peaceful time together. Reading right before bedtime can help everyone wind down and relax.
Take Turns Choosing a Book - Often times, children will want to read the same book over and over again, that is great when they pick out a favorite book. If you grow weary of the same book and they also need variety, take turns selecting a book to read.
Participation - You can always have your child turn the pages for you, talk about the pictures, or take turns reading from the pages.
Be Playful - It is fun to use different voices when you read or insert names of your child or family members into the story.
You don't have to be an expert reader to read with or to your child...they will love it just because it is their time with you!
