A Guide to Reading Aloud to Your Child
Read with fun in your voice.
Build vocabulary by focusing on and talking about new words.
Connect the story to your child's world.
Ask your child questions about the book and encourage them to ask questions.
Make reading part of your everyday routine.
When you read the words, whenever possible, act them out too!
Hold the book so your child can see the pictures.
Make the plot come alive by discussing the illustrations.
Reading Everywhere!
Make text come alive around your home by using a sticky note, index card, or extra piece of paper to label a piece of art.:
Hang the label near a poster, picture, or drawing and discuss the letters and their meaning with your child. Labeling helps children learn that letters come together to make words and creates a print rich environment in your home.
Pre-Reading Building Block
Sing the ABC song with your child. Sing the song again while flipping through the book, pointing to each letter.
Let's Play
Choose a few pages and discuss the careers, interests, or hobbies represented. Ask your child: “Which one would you like to be when you are big?” Encourage your child to point to the pea they like best, even if they don’t have the vocabulary to describe it. Build vocabulary by naming the career and asking your child to repeat after you.
