3. Echo Read Read aloud a paragraph, page, or chapter of a book. Then have your child read the same section back to you. Feel free to make encouraging comments. Remember, even as your child gets older, reading together remains an important way to spend time together and to practice reading skills. Be sure to help your child set aside time for reading practice at home each day.
