When you read:
I Read to You
Find a special time and place to read to your child. Pick the best time for both of you to read together for 20 minutes each day.
Find a story that you and your child will love to read. Keep your child interested in the story by reading it with emotion.
If it is a picture book, read the whole story rst. If you are reading a chapter book, decide how many chapters you will read each day.
When you begin to read a new story, look at the cover, read the title of the story, and show your child where the author’s name is located.
Do a brief picture-walk through the story, looking quickly at each of the pictures in the book. Ask your child, “What do you think this story is going to be about?”
Use your pointer nger to walk through the words as you read along.
After you read:
• When you’ve nished reading, use question cards to ask your child about the story. Then have your child use the question cards to ask you about the story!
• Pick out three or four vocabulary words you nd in the story. Ask your child what each word means.
