|Family Tips for Reading to Preschoolers |

| |

| |

|Read together every day! Make this a warm and loving time where the two of you can cuddle close. Have this special time built in |

|into your daily routine. Aim for a daily total of 20 minutes dedicated to reading books. |

| |

| |

| |

|Say how much you enjoy reading. Tell your child how much you enjoy reading with him/her. Talk about story time as your favorite |

|part of the day. |

| |

| |

| |

|Know when to stop. Put the book away for a while if your child loses interest or is having trouble paying attention. |

| |

| |

|Read it again and again. Go ahead and read your child's favorite book for the 100th time! |

| |

| |

|Read with fun in your voice. Read to your child with humor and expression. Use different voices. Ham it up! |
