Get Comfortable - Offer
 youth soft mats or pillows to sit on. 
Give them blankets to 
snuggle up in on cold days, or sit near a 
cool breeze when the weather 
is warm. Let them have a snack
or drink before you start. 
Remove Distractions - Make
 your reading spot as quiet as 
possible so your youngster can focus on 
the story. Turn off  
the TV and computer......enjoy this time together.   
Encourage Participation - Kids just may enjoy reading 
more when they’re invited to join in. Let them
 take turns 
choosing a book and turning the pages. If there’s repetition 
in a story, challenge them to recite the key phrases with you. 
Keep it Appropriate - If
 your kids have trouble following the
language or plot of a story, it 
may be too difficult for them. 
Look for books that are closer to their 
reading levels. 
Tip: Ask a librarian or your child’s teachers for 
suggestions.
