The first step to help your child learn to read is to Read to him everyday. Reading to your child on a regular basis will make reading enjoyable! Watch your child’s interests and supply appropriate books, this way you can build your child’s library at home. Listen to your child read and ask him questions about the story and characters. Do not set impossible goals for your child, that will make him frustrated. Your positive attention will build self-confidence in your child and create life long love for reading!

Summer Reading
May 10th, 2017A
s the school year winds down, it’s time to think about ways to keep your little one interested in reading over the summer! Letting your child choose his or her own books for reading allows them to truly engage in the reading experience. Don’t be afraid to let them select a book that you think may be too hard- their interest in the pictures will help them create a story all their own! Another way to keep the engagement alive is to write down the stories they tell you! They will love hearing you read their words back to them. Keep the creativity flowing by letting them illustrate their words, too! If you are looking for some inspiration, here are a few tried and true summer favorites:
Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin
Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel by Adam Rubin
The Pout Pout Fish by Deborah Deisen
Pete the Cat (series) by James Dean and Eric Litwin
