More Ways to Help at Home

Tips and Resources! 

Here are a few ways to easily incorporate reading into your child's life every day: 

• Use the library as a resource: 

  • • Find seasonal books to keep your child engaged. 

    • Library cards are free! Make it a fun day by stopping by the library and picking a book to read together outside. 

    • The library has a great selection of audio books that are wonderful for car rides or at home.

• Partner read with your child- You read one page, and have your child read the next. 

• Use environmental print:

  • • Have your child read the menu at a restaurant or signs on the road.

    • Have your child write your grocery list with you. 

• Make it multi-sensory , especially for younger children. The more senses your child uses, the better they will remember what they are learning. For example: 

  • • Use puppets or stuffed animals while reading. 

    • Write letters or words in sand, sugar, salt, or shaving cream. 

    • Use magnetic letters or letter blocks to build words. 

• Have books stored everywhere! Put them in the car and in all rooms of the house, especially play areas. 

• Encourage your child to read for 20 minutes each day!
