How do you read with your child?
- You don’t have to be a good reader to
read with your child - just do it! - Choose the same time each day to read with your child (e.g. bedtime).
- Make it fun: use different voices and get your child to participate.
- Let your child be the leader, and you
follow: talk about the pictures that interest your child and ask questions. - It's never too early to start reading with a
child, so you can read with your baby too.
