Tips

• Begin reading books early – even when your child is a newborn.
• Talk to your child about what you are doing.
• Tell your child stories.
• Encourage your child to tell you about things. Listen patiently and ask questions.

• Point to letters of the alphabet or words as you say them.
• Let your child hold the book and read or tell you the story.
• Emphasize rhyming words in nursery rhymes, stories and songs.
