It can be a challenge for busy parents who want to help their children learn to read. If the child doesn't seem interested, or finds it hard, how do you encourage them? And what if you yourself do not like to read?
Don’t worry, your child benefits just because you do activities together. Your child's development improves when you spend time with them. It can be as simple as little games or having fun talking.
See below for a lot of ideas to help you get started. They will help you get your child interested and involved in reading. Each file has an activity idea (or two or three). It's great for the entire family when parents and children spend time together in constructive play. As you look over these ideas, you will see that many things kids can do for fun actually help them learn. Playing and pretending is good for your child.
These ideas were written for you by Mary Dudley, Ph.D. with the University of New Mexico College of Education's Center for Family and Community Partnerships, Project LEER. This project was funded by the US Office of Education, Early Reading First.
