READING TOGETHER Here are a few tips to help you and your child explore and enjoy these books. Get Ready. Make reading time a special time together. Prepare by first looking through the book to get a sense of what it is like. Sit comfortably and if you can, share the book so both you and your child can see each page. Share the Reading. You may want to take turns as you read the book. Pause occasionally to explain a new word in English or Haitian Creole, or to share ideas about what is happening in the book. Talk About It. In addition to using the Try This! tip for each book, encourage your child to share favorite parts from each story. You can talk about a book right after reading—but sometimes it is fun to talk about it later with another family member or friend, or when something on TV or in your lives reminds you of the book.
