Reading to your PRESCHOOLER is easy -TIPS!
 
  • Hold your preschooler on your lap as you sit on a chair or on the floor.
    Preschoolers like sharing books with Mom and Dad.
  • Place books where preschoolers can reach them. Preschoolers can look at books independently.
  • Let preschoolers select the books. Preschoolers know what they like.
    Some like rhyming; some like action; some like quiet stories.
  • Make reading fun. Preschoolers have better control of language and are developing a sense of humor.
  • Preschoolers have varying attention spans. Allow them the amount of time for reading. You do not need to read every word.
  • Act out the story. Preschoolers love repetition. You can read the same book many, many times.
  • Ask questions. Preschoolers like making up stories.
  • Model reading for your preschooler. They copy what they see. Develop a daily reading routine.
  • Visit your local library often. You and your preschooler can enjoy storytime and find many wonderful books together.
