Tips for Reading Together

    • Talk about the book before you read it.
    • Look at the pictures and have conversations about what you notice.
    • Ask questions. Why do you think the character said or did that? How do you think the character feels? What would you have done? What do you think will happen next?
    • If you are reading a non-fiction book, you may want to comment on new or surprising information.
    • Discuss any new vocabulary in the book.
    • At the end of the book, help your child make connections between this book and other books or their own experiences.
    • Have your child re-tell the story, and share their favorite part.
