Books and reference materials are good sources of information. Make time for reading. Be sure your child has enough time in her day to read. Young children are quite busy these days. They may need your help in scheduling their day.
TV can be a good source of information and literacy skills.
Tie books and TV together. Read about whales and dolphins after watching a television special. Or read movie reviews before watching the award shows. Don't make reading a race. Every child reads at a different pace.
