Families That

Together

Succeed Together

 

Make Family reading time more fun and rewarding!!

 

Set a Date Arrange a special time to read together every day.  Just before bed, in the morning, after dinner, whatever works best for your family. 

 

Get Comfortable Find a quiet place where you can snuggle up and relax with one another.

 

Choose Fun Books Visit your library to pick out interesting books of all kinds.  Select them together, or have each of you find something that excites you and that youngsters will enjoy.

 

Act It Out Use different voices for the characters.  Make faces and gestures, and add sound effects.

 

Trade Places Have each person who is able to read take a turn,Beginning readers can take shorter turns if they like.

 

Talk About It Ask questions about what you read, suck as, “How do you think this story will end?” or “What was your favorite part of the story? Why?”

Read It Again Be willing to read favorite stories again and again, especially those of young Children.  Change voices and think of new questions to ask. 

 

Read Aloud or Silently It’s always fun to read aloud to one another.  Or, just enjoy time spent together as all of you read on your own.
