Reading with Children – Top Tips

Find a quiet area of the house
Settle into a comfortable seat or chair
Turn off the TV or other distractions
Little and often – five minutes is fine
Don’t force your child if they are tired
Use praise and make positive comments in their
reading record
Switch roles – allow your child to listen to you read
Variety is important – read comics, magazines and
poems not just books
Talk about the book. Talking about the book will help develop your child’s understanding of words, text structure and the events or content of the book
