Reading Tips for Kindergarten Families
Welcome to school, kindergarten families! Our children's librarians are here to help make reading fun for you and your family.
Tips for Family Reading
Let your child lead
Let them choose what you read together most of the time. Look for books that match their interests.
Ask questions as you read
This helps your child get involved in the story and understand it. Try asking questions that don't have right answers, like "what do you think will happen next?". Be sure to give them lots of thinking time and keep it fun.
Let them tell the story
Ask your child to tell you the story in their own words using the pictures.
Encourage reading every day
Set a special time or place for reading. The more kids read the more they will enjoy it.
