Talk about stories you read to your kids.

Pause and ask questions about the story you are reading like, "Tell me about the kitten" or "Why do you think she looks so sad?" or try asking about a word that is used in the story? "What do you think the word lonely means?" It just takes a minute to make a difference in a child's life.

Try This Today:

Ask your child to "sound out" the beginning sound of some words in a familiar book, on a cereal box, or on a store sign when you're out shopping. It will help your child learn that printed words have meaning, and increase their vocabulary. Always praise them for trying afterwards! A "Great Job" goes a long way.

Encourage a Relationship with Reading

You cannot make children learn to read before they are ready, but you CAN encourage reading. Here are four suggestions: 1. Read aloud to your child 2. Listen to audio books 3. Allow kids to choose their own books 4. Give your child books that are highly visual with smaller amounts of text – Like Usborne books!
