Literacy is something that is very near and dear to my heart. Every child deserves to know how to read, to be read to, and to feel his imagination soaring as he adventures through the pages of a wonderful book.
Here are some tips to Ignite the S.P.A.R.K. of reading in your child:
- S = Snuggle! Make reading and relaxing together in a quiet, comfortable place part of your daily routines.
- P = Plan ahead! Take favorite books with you so you can read on the bus, in line at the grocery store, or wherever you are stuck waiting.
- A = Ask questions! Pause as you read and ask questions about the story like, “What do you think will happen next?”
- R = Read yourself! Make sure that your child sees you reading – there is no more powerful way to send the message that the adults in his life think reading is worthwhile and fun.
- K = Keep it up! Keep reading aloud even when your child can read on his/her own.
