Here are some suggestions for activities that can help create a desire to read and reinforce reading skills in younger children. There is no more important activity for preparing your child to succeed as a reader than reading aloud together. Fill your story times with a variety of books, magazines, and other reading material. It is important to keep fun in your parent-child reading and to let joy set the tone and pace.
Children love to learn.
Give them a little breathing room, and their interest will always be renewed. While reading with your child is most important, there are other activities that help to get children ready to read. With a solid foundation, your child will not only read, but will read with enthusiasm. Feed them breakfast. Get them to bed at a decent hour.
