Keeping the reading experience a positive time is imperative so if your toddler is not in the mood, skip a day and try again tomorrow.

Give your toddler opportunities to repeat rhyming phrases. 74% of the children who are diagnosed with reading problems in the 3rd grade, continue with problems into the 9th grade.

Look for bright colors, sharp contrasts between the picture and the page and rhythmic writing. Allow your child to have his or her own library card. It costs nothing and opens a lifetime of enjoyment and learning. If your child learns early to associate reading with pleasure, she is more likely to enjoy reading on her own when she is older. Ensure literacy at an early age, make sure that books are visible and at the child’s level. When you read newspapers and write letters, you show your young child how reading and writing are useful. By demonstrating why reading and writing are important, you will motivate your child to become a reader and writer. Check out summer programs at your local public library. Many feature special story times, sing-alongs, and puppet shows during the summer. These programs offer fun opportunities for your child to expand his language-and literacy-related skills.

Reading with a very young child is primarily about building positive experiences with books, not finishing every book you start. Lots of libraries will be doing Valentine’s day specials for kids today, and if not, you can always find a cute Valentine’s kid book at your local book store. When reading to your child read with expression using different voices for different characters. Choose children’s books with large print words and extremely clear pictures. This will help your child to understand what they are seeing and to learn to read words. Don’t expect your toddler to sit still for a book. They may be moving, but they are listening. |
