FOR THE LOVE OF READING

What’s the best way to create a lifelong reader? Reading together! Reading is free, fun and will bring you and your child closer. Find a time each day when you and your child can get cozy and enjoy a good book. Here are tips to helpyou choose stories:

1. Ask librarians, friends, and teachers for recommendations. Tip: If your child doesn’t already have a library card, sign him/her up for one.

2. Find books that expand your child’s interest (insects, outer space), deal with an event (a new baby, a visit to the dentist), and build character (friendship, truthfulness).

3. Pick stories for both information and enjoyment. Try real and make-believe stories and poems, as well as children’s magazines.
