Reading With and To Your Child


Children and Parent Reading Books Together

Suggestions for Parents

  • Choose a variety of types of books to read and include stories with long text, stories with rhyme, picture books, chapter books and factual scientific books.
  • Read books over and over again. Increase familiarity with the story and content of the book opens doors for more complex discussion.
  • Discuss some aspect of the book before and after reading. It helps to be familiar with the book before starting to read it to your child.
  • Vary intonation: use different voices to enhance comprehension and interest.
