TIPS for Reading to Preschoolers:
Read together every day: Make this a warm and loving time when you can cuddle.
Give everything a name: Ex. "Look at that airplane! Those are the wings of the plane. Why do you think they are called wings?"
Say how much you enjoy reading: Talk about "story time" as the favorite part of your day.
Read with fun in your voice: Read with humor and expression. Ham it up!
Know when to stop: Put the book away for awhile if your child loses interest.
Be interactive: Discuss what is happening in the book, point out things on the page, and ask questions.
Read it again and again: Go ahead and read your child's favorite book for the 100th time!
Talk about writing, too: Mention to your child how we read from left to right and how words are separated by spaces.
Point out print everywhere: Talk about the written words you see in the world around you.
Get your child evaluated: Please be sure to see your child's pediatrician or teacher as soon as possible if you have concerns about your child's language development, hearing, or sight.
