BUILDING A READER AT HOME • Explore books? Give your child an opportunity to explore books. Visit a library or bookstore and help them find topics that interest them. • READ! READ! READ! Make sure to read for at least 30 minutes per day. They can read independently, aloud to an adult, or with a partner. • Ask Questions! *Make Predictions, *Characters, *Main Idea, *Problem/Solution, *Retell the Story/Summarize, *Genre, *Moral • Make it FUN! Reading shouldn’t be a chore. Discuss books with your child and do book activities together. • Be an example! Children learn by example so let your child see you read…whether it be a book, newspaper, cookbook, etc. • Pick “Good Fit” Books! Select books that meet the following requirements: Can they understand what they are reading? Can they retell the story? Do they know most of the words?
