You are your child's first teacher. You taught your child how to walk,
how to talk, and maybe even how to ride a bicycle. The bond you have
with your child is like no other. Reading to your child not only
strengthens that bond but it also keeps the learning alive while
reinforcing the skills taught at school. You may be wondering how a
simple activity such as reading aloud to your child could reinforce
skills. If you think about it, you are encouraging a love of reading as
you use different voices while reading the Harry Potter series to your
child. Your child is on the edge of his or her seat, wondering what's
going to happen next to the young boy. If you're wondering what else you
can do to enhance reading skills, here are some easy-to implement
routines. So get cozy and feel free to adapt the activities according to
your child's stage of development.
