As your little ones grow, fostering a habit of reading is not only great for their development, but also works wonders on their imagination and creativity! With so many different genres, storytelling, and activities to do, here are some tips to help you get started:

Choosing the Right Book

We have all heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but to be honest, we all have at some point! Sometimes we use our eyes to direct us into what we are interested in, and your children may also do the same as they learn. Whatever catches their eye, go for it! Explore different themes, and reading time will be a wonderful activity for you and your little one.

While You Read

Reading with your child boosts their confidence and nurtures their interest in the world of reading. Make sure to sound out the words or sounds in the book, and activities such as naming animals or objects are great for their vocabulary and comprehension skills!

Review Time!

Now comes the fun part—reviewing the book! Ask your little ones what they liked most about the book they read, what lessons they learned, which emotions they felt, and watch how their understanding grows with each page you go through together. Soon, they will be doing it all by themselves.

Creating a community of young, vibrant readers is very possible when you make reading a fun and interactive activity with your children. Let them explore, be curious, play around, and turn reading into an everyday habit.
