Reading Tips
By this age, many children will want to read by themselves. Finding the right beginner books that will lead them to reading independence is important.

Help build your child’s reading skills by:
  • Letting your child gradually share some of the reading aloud. You read a sentence, paragraph, or page, and then it’s your child’s turn. Take over if your child seems tired or discouraged to ensure that reading is always fun, not hard work.
  • If your child can’t sound out a word, say the word and keep moving.
  • Encouraging your child to choose their own books.
  • Taking your new reader to the library to sign up for their own library card.
  • Talking about the books you read together and about the books your children are reading on their own.
