Read baby books. Make a special bookshelf. Find a special place for your child to keep her books including those she makes and checks out from the library. Try to keep books in every room of your home. Get into the habit of grabbing a book to read whenever you go out.
Books are great to read in the car, while waiting in line, or riding on a bus.
Encourage your child to read or tell stories to a younger sibling, cousin, friend, or teddy bear. This practice improves his reading fluency and helps him see the joy in sharing books. Keep a book journal. Help your child make and then keep a journal of thoughts she has at the end of a book or series of books. Your child then fills in the story.
