Our local children’s librarian, Michelle, is amazing. My kids love going to the library just so they can say hi to Michelle. She exudes a love of reading and a love for kids and it is contagious.
Here are some great tips courtesy of our local library on how to get your kid to be a reader.
1. Be a Reader
Let your child see you reading for pleasure and keep plenty of child-friendly books around the house.
2. Make it a Habit
Read together as a regular part of your daily routine.
3. Read it Again
Involve your child by having them ask questions and make observations.
4. Start Young, Read Often
Sit side-by-side and point to the pictures and words in the book.
5. Always Carry a Book
Fit in reading wherever you are.
6. Visit the Library
Get a library card for every family member and ask your librarian for book suggestions.
