Helping Your Child Enjoy Reading
During The Summer Vacation
As a parent your support and involvement are an important part of your child's summer reading success. Here are some ideas that can help make this summer's reading program a fun and positive experience for your child.
- Help your child set a realistic goal for summer reading. Sit down together and agree on a time that will be spent reading each week or a number of books that your child will try to read during the summer vacation.
- Establish a regular time for reading in your home for all members of your family. Having a set time several times a week when everyone reads for fifteen to thirty minutes shows your children that you value books and reading.
- Offer to share stories with your children.
- Encourage your children to share favorite stories with you. Reading aloud to an adult or telling a story allows the child to practice important skills of oral reading and comprehension.
- Talk about books together. Tell your child about something you have read and let her tell you about what she is reading. Occasionally read something your child has enjoyed.
- Appreciate all the books your child selects, even the ones that look "too easy." Like adults, children like to read some books that are fun and effortless to read.
- Read aloud to your child. Even when children are able to read, they still enjoy listening to books read aloud. Reading a chapter or two of a children's novel every day also helps increase children's listening skills.
- When you are on long car trips, read a book aloud or listen to
an audio book as a family. It's a great way to pass the time.
- Bring your child to the library often. In addition to books and other materials, the library offers special programs for children throughout the summer.
