Building   Readers

Start new reading routines with your child

This is a great time for your family to begin some

Fun new reading routines! 

To add some variety to regular routines:

• Break the mold. Do you only read with

your child before bed?  Find other times to look

at books together, such as right after bath time, before school

or any time that you can find together.

• Write a Story. Did your family do something

special over the summer, holidays or the weekend?  Help your child

make up a simple tale about it.  Do this after each

special moment, and you’ll have an impressive homemade

library one day

• Volunteer at school. If your child’s school day in-

clude story time, try to sit in on a few sessions and

volunteer to be a reader if your schedule allows

you to do so. You, the class and your child will benefit from 

this wonderful experience.
