Reading
Read & Sing with your Child Every Day!
Reading is one of the most simple, fun, and effective ways to support your child's development.
Reading with your toddler is a great way to bond and help build language and literacy skills. With you, your toddler, and a book, you both can go on magical reading adventures!
What is Dialogic Reading?
When most adults share a book with a preschooler, they read and the child listens. In dialogic reading, the adult helps the child become the teller of the story. The adult becomes the listener, the questioner, the audience for the child. No one can learn to play the piano just by listening to someone else play. Likewise, no one can learn to read just by listening to someone else read. Children learn most from books when they are actively involved.
