Reading Tips
• Establish a reading time, even if it is only 10 minutes a day.
• Listen attentively as the child reads.
• Take turns. Read a paragraph and then have the child read the next.
• Talk about the stories you have read.
• Answer a child's questions about the stories, and ask questions to test their comprehension.
• Establish one evening a week for reading instead of television viewing.
