Reading to Your Child

The first step in teaching your child to read is to read to them! There is nothing cozier than cuddling up together and enjoying a book. Right away you are teaching them that reading is about sharing stories, just like stories you tell them. Stories in books have a special sound to their language. Read and enjoy that language as you read. Your child will be listening to that language and getting ready to enjoy it when she sees it in her books. There is magic in the phrase, "Once upon a time..." Do you remember that magic? Share it with your child!
