SOME TIPS FOR PARE NTS

 Encourage your child to read books and other materials related to

his/her interests or hobbies.

 Have your child read game instructions, recipe directions, comic

books, catalogues, toy advertisements and children’s magazines.

 Make sure he/she is reading at his/her level – something too difficult

frustrates the child whereas something too easy does not challenge him/her.

 Set aside time for your child to read every day – at least 20

minutes/day.

 Encourage your child to talk about the book that he/she has just read.
