Tips to make reading more fun!

Let your child’s interest guide the reading. When something piques your child’s curiosity, interact with them to encourage participation. For example:

  1. Describe what you see or offer explanations to your child.
  2. Ask open-ended questions to get them to describe what they see.
  3. Make comical suggestions: “Did the rabbit eat the rocks or the carrots?”
  4. Invite your child to participate in important moments of the story: by miming gestures (e.g., opening the door), making sounds (“knock, knock, knock”), repeating words or magic formulas (“abracadabra”).

Reading is a time for exploration and dialogue. It doesn’t always have to follow a continuous thread.
