Here are 5 R’s that can certainly help you when it comes to your young child:

1.) read together

2.) rhyme by (playing, talking, singing, and cuddling together, good old fashioned nursery rhymes and finger plays are great )

3.) routines in place (and regular times for reading)

4.) rewards (for everyday successes)

5.) relationships (that are nurturing, reciprocal, purposeful and enduring).
