• Include your child in reading aloud. If there is a repetitive refrain throughout the book, encourage your child to say the refrain each time it occurs. Try echo- reading, where you read words first and your child repeats them back to you. • Read stories multiple times. Repeated reading is an important activity as your child learns to love reading. Children learn new concepts and recognize different details in a book with each reading. • Encourage your child to keep track of the books he or she has read with the My Reading Log on the back cover. It’s the perfect place to list—and rate—the books you’ve enjoyed together. AFTER READING The impact and experience of reading a book do not end when the last page is turned. Thinking about and discussing ideas from a book after reading add new levels of meaning and understanding for your child. • Talk about personal connections you or your child might have to the story. Have you ever had an experience like the main character? Have you visited a place like the setting in the book? Imagine what it would be like to be a character in the story. • Invite your child to draw pictures , write poems, or act out scenes from the story to help reinforce comprehension and encourage critical thinking about the book. Most importantly, make reading together fun, relaxing, and interactive. Embrace the new experiences books can bring and enjoy the journey of reading with your child!
Happy reading! Your friends at Scholastic
