Reading with your child • It is important that your child understands what they read. (Comprehension) • Ask questions about what they have read. • Talk about books. • Be a role model and let your child see you reading. • Talk about books or any reading material you might use.

Planners and communication. • Read them stories that you enjoyed when you were a child. • Share a book so that you read a little and your child reads the words that they know. • Use expression and different voices for each character. • Choose a quiet time when you can give the reading session your whole attention. • Children have reading diaries, when you hear your child read make a note in their books like “We enjoyed this book etc.” Most importantly HAVE FUN !
