do together


Why this is important

Look at information for:

  • infants & reading

  • toddlers & reading

  • preschoolers & reading

  • children who can read
    with some help

  • children who read
    independently


  • SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT DO TOGETHER


  • Have your child tell you a story and write it down as they tell it. Together, draw pictures that tell the story, or find some in a magazine.

  • If you chose to watch television, select educational programs such as Reading Rainbow and others on PBS, and watch the programs together. Talk about what you see. Ask your child what he or she thinks about what they are viewing.

  • If you need help in finding good books for your child, ask a librarian to suggest some for you. Pay attention to things that your child likes-dinosaurs or trucks, for example-and ask for suggestions of books on those topics.

  • Act out your favorite story. Perhaps you can think of another way the story can end.
