Helping Your Child With Reading

Read with your children often, and try these simple ways to help them become excited about reading:

 

Start with your child’s picks. Children are more likely to read something that interests them.

 

Read and reread. Children often reach for the same books over and over again.  That’s not only OK, but it’s also a good thing!  Repetition helps children learn the text and in time read it with confidence.

 

Read Aloud. Reading aloud to your children helps them build their vocabulary and introduces new facts and ideas.  You also show that you enjoy reading for fun, and help them connect sounds with letters on the page.
