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 tree.

Hang the label near a tree outside, or on a window where you can see a tree, or a picture of a tree, 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

Recite the following nursery rhyme with your child, doing the actions with your hands:
I have ten little fingers,
And they all belong to me.
I can make them do things. Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight,
Or open them all wide,
Put them together,
Or make them all hide.
I can make them jump high, I can make them jump low, I can fold them quietly,
And hold them all just so.

Let's Play

Practice counting each animal on each page. Show your child how to point and count, stopping at the last number you point to.
