Tips for Reading
1. Read aloud to your child as often as you can, even if it's only for a few minutes a day.
2. Expand your conversations in the car, at dinner, wherever you go with your child!
3. Chat about letters, using more than the "alphabet song," to help your child begin to recognize them.
4. Break down words during your reading time together.
5. Teach your child the basics of a book (how to properly hold the book right-side up, how to open a book, reading from left to right and top to bottom even if your child is unable to read the words).
When your child is beginning to read words, use the Five Finger Test!
