Modeling Good Reading Practices
Let your child see you reading for pleasure and for work.
Set aside a time when the whole family reads.
Turn off the T.V. and computer. Go to the library once a week. Give books as gifts for rewards,
holidays, and birthdays.

take a picture/book walk.• Ask questions as you read with
your child.• Ask them about their favorite page
or part.• Have them retell the story (page,
