the Gift Of Reading
Give
the Gift of Reading
One of the best gifts
you can give your child is the gift of reading.
The
joy of reading gives your child a lifetime of discovery and learning.
Read to your child everyday.
Let your child subscribe to a magazine. Highlights, Sesame Street Magazine and Ranger Rick are some good examples.
Give books as birthday and holiday presents.
Set aside time each day to spend time with your child. This can be time spent reading together, playing a game or taking a walk.
Help your child develop listening skills by setting a good example. Listen to what your child has to say without interrupting. Show your child you're listening by nodding your head or with facial expressions.
Ask
your child questions that can't be answered by just a "yes or no." This
will encourage thinking. problem solving skills, and creativity.
