When children grow up with positive reading experiences, they are more likely to become successful readers. Make sure shared reading is an enjoyable experience for everyone! A few suggestions: Snuggle up together. Let your child help pick the books they want to read. Take your time looking at the pictures. Ask questions and talk with your child while you’re reading. Re-read their favourites. Recognize that sometimes it’s better to stop and read at another time. Or, if they want to move around while you read—that’s okay too!
