Tips for sharing books with Preschoolers
*Choose books that have themes your child will understand.
*Ask questions: Why do you think he did that? What do you think is going to happen next? What would happen if...?
*Be dramatic in your reading. Use different voices for different characters.
*Let your child read to you.
*Read slow enough to let the story soak in.
*Every once in a while, run your finger along the words as you're reading them.
*Let your child turn the pages for you.
*Give your child plenty of time to look over the pictures.
*Share books with your child every day. Even just a few minutes a day is important.
