The ABC's of Reading to Your Children
|
|
 | |
Ask questions while reading together. For example, ask "what do you think will happen next?"
Buy books as gifts.
Chat about what is happening in the book and how it
relates to everyday life.
Drop everything and read! Set aside time during the
day in which the whole family reads.
Examine book illustrations in detail.
Find books that interest your child. Make
suggestions, but don't turn reading into work.
Give hints when your child gets stuck on a word.
Have fun. Smile and enjoy the story!
Imagine yourselves in the story.
Join in your child's reading successes. Celebrate
every small step with sincere praise.
Keep a list of your child's favorite authors.
Learn to read with -- not just to -- your child
daily. Read aloud, share ideas, and answer questions.
Model reading. Share with your child, whether
you're reading for information or for entertainment.
Never go on vacation without a book! Offer your
child a variety of reading materials -- such as books,
magazines, and newspapers.
Offer to take your child and a friend to the public
library.
Predict story elements, draw conclusions, and
retail the story with your child.
Questions about quality literature? check with a
librarian, either at school or at your public library.
Reread books to familiarize your child with words
and to help build self confidence.
Sing songs, recite poetry, and do finger plays to
help develop language and listening skills.
Try to help your child understand that it's okay to
make mistakes.
Understand that reading is developmental and that
it takes time to practice to become fluent.
Visit your local library on a regular basis.
Watch for visual clues that your child can
interpret.
"Xhibit"
patience when your child is selecting books. Your support is empowering.
You are the most important person in helping your
child develop a lifelong love of reading.
Zealous readers are the
result of supportive and nurturing role models.

Mailbox Bookbag, Dec./Jan. 1998-1999
