Reading is a skill that gets better with practice! Encourage your children to spend some time reading each day.
Read aloud to your child and with your child.
Make reading easy! Children should have their own bookshelf filled with interesting books so they have easy access to them.
Cooking a recipe together is a great way to incorporate reading. Choose food your child will enjoy that is made with a simple recipe. Have your child help read the directions and measure the ingredients.
Limit the amount of time your child spends in front of the television.
Introduce your child to new vocabulary. Children love learning the meaning of "big words".
Give children books as gifts.
Visit the public library with your children. Set a wonderful example of the importance of reading by checking out a book from the library for yourself. The library offers great reading programs for children.
