READING WITH YOUR CHILDREN

Committing your child to reading, even just a little each day is very important in developing life long reading habits. Choose books that you can read together!  Read picture books and short stories. Try to include books with unforgettable characters. Learning to read takes time and practice. Loving to read takes enthusiasm. Read with your child on a regular basis to create a sense of wonder and enjoyment. It will foster creative thinking skills, and provide for him/her to grow and develop mentally. It will give your child an appreciation and respect for books. It's important to set an example by reading yourself.

 

 

*Have your child read along with you.

*Listen carefully and make sure to praise them if he/she can recognize a word.

*Visit the Public Library over the summer. Apply for library card for your child. The Ossining Library offers reading clubs and incentives every summer.

 

Please practice reading the words below with your child over the summer. You may want to write them down on index cards to practice:

read, write, cut, draw, name, date, find, color, the, and, of, and put.

They should be able to recognize and read these words by September along with some others they already know.

Happy reading!
