Encouraging Reading @ Home
If you are wondering how to encourage your child to read more at home, here are some ideas to get you started:
- let them choose the book to read
- make reading a positive experience - lots of praise - don't focus on the mistakes
- let children see you reading
- create conversations based around the books you read with your child
- ask questions when reading together and let the child ask you questions
- take turns reading a page/paragraph
- introduce different text formats: newspapers, magazines etc.
