Ideas to Enhance Reading for Families
-Reading does not have to be storybook reading only. Encourage your child to read recipes and follow simple written instructions to make gifts. Making book marks to include with book gifts is also fun for kids.
-Purchase and/or use bookstores gift certificates/cards with your child so that you can select reading material that both of you will enjoy. Help them to build their own library of books that interest them.
-Give books as gifts. Perhaps a gift exchange can become a book exchange. Don’t forget that used books are far less expensive as new and library books don’t have to cost anything!
-Telling stories can be great fun. A story is started out loud by one person and is passed on for the next storyteller by saying “…and then -.”
-Be sure to have plenty to read. Designating a specific place to store books as well as to read them can foster your child’s independent reading. A cozy corner beside a small bookshelf can easily become your child’s “book nook.”
-Be a reading role model for your child. Allow them to see you read and invite their questions.
-Read to your children even after they’ve become proficient readers.
-And, above all, enjoy!!
