(1) Find a cozy spot, with soft light and few distractions, for reading.
(2) Read with expression. Use your voice to make the story come alive.
(3) Preschoolers thrive on predictability. Reread favorite books again and again.
(4) Expose your child to a variety of reading materials. Include nonfiction books, wordless picture books, and magazines in your read-aloud repetoire.
(5) If you and your child don't enjoy a book, there is no need to finish it. Set it aside and try something else.
(6) Feel free to adapt a story to suit your needs. Shorten or summarize a passage if your child's attention flags.
(7) Allow time for your child to absorb the words and pictures and to ask questions about the story.
(8) Take turns "reading" with your child. Your child can tell you a story based on the pictures they see.
(9) Make regular visits to the library so your child can check out books.
