Reading with your preschooler every day is crucial in their development and can help to expand their vocabulary, and grow their love of books! Here are some tips to help your child grow into a book lover!
Variety, Variety, Variety!
Make sure there are lots of books for your child to choose from. Having variety helps keep your child’s interest and make them want to read.
Ask Questions While Reading
While reading with your child make sure to ask questions throughout about pictures or vocabulary.
Example: If the book features pictures of animals, ask what the animal is, where the animal lives, and what sounds they make.
Asking questions helps to grow their vocabulary and keep their attention!
Teach Shapes and Colors
Books can also be used to teach your child about colors and shapes another way to continue to grow their vocabulary!
Example: When looking at a book featuring shapes, ask what type of shape it is, or what color it is. This can also be done by asking your child to point to a certain shape or color.
Use Interactive Books
Using books that allow your child to interact with the story is another great way to keep children engaged and learning. Nick Sharratt books, for example, allow you to change the story. Children are able to choose different pictures to make the story different each time they read it!
Making reading fun for your preschooler can help create a lifelong reader!
