It’s well known that being read to is one of the best ways a child gets ready to read. But the benefits of story time come from more than just hearing words. Here are 10 ways to make story time meaningful for your early readers.
1 Get Familiar– Before diving right in to your next read, take a minute to look at the cover with your children. Talk about the title, what could it mean? What can you guess from the pictures on the cover? What might this book be about? In addition to getting them interested in the book, this gives your children the opportunity to make inferences and think creatively. They may ask questions that will be answered in the story. What a great tool for building comprehension!
