Have your child finish the story for you. Read with expression. There are very few children who would rather watch TV than hear a good story read with feeling and enthusiasm by someone they love. Dramatize a story you have read with your child, each taking different parts. Share your childhood through storytelling.
Children love to hear stories about their family s background.
Build self-respect and morale by praising any reading that the child does. There is a difference between encouragement and pressure. Each child needs to experience success. I like the way you do this. That s quite an improvement.
