- Show children the cover page: A great way to start off a book is by looking at the cover page. However, for older children, one could also ask them to guess what the story will be based on the cover page.
- Let your child turn the pages: A great way to make your child enjoy reading is to involve them in the whole process. Build up the excitement on what to expect on the next page of the story.
- Connect what’s on the page to your child’s world: Most books for children come with a lot of pictures and fewer words. A great way to bring the book to life is by labeling familiar objects around the house to the objects in the book.
- Make the characters come to Life: Create voices for all the characters in the story. Also, use a lot of actions while reading out the story. Make reading fun for your child!
Show children the words. Run your finger along with the words that you read. - Reading as a routine: Always remember to make reading a part of their daily schedule. Reading for even 10 – 15 minutes every day, can go a long way!
