April is National Library Month

Library Boy

April is National Library Month, which makes it a great time of year to visit your local library!

If this is your child’s first visit to the library, make sure to register her for a library card. Make it a weekly activity to visit the library to select new books and spend time reading at the library (and save a little money in the process!). Many libraries host a special story time perfect for little readers.

Not sure what books your kids are interested in? Libraries do a great job of displaying seasonal books and current topics which may catch the eye of your eager little one.

Allow your child to select books that interest her! You may not think she’d be interested in the history of Egypt and the Pyramids, but it’s a book that will open her up to a world of new ideas and possibilities!

Read, read, read!

Encourage independent reading time at home. Even if your child is not reading on his own, time spent looking at pictures and making up stories, opens up your child’s imagination and develops his creativity.

Don’t forget to spend time daily reading aloud to your child. Reading to your preschooler will open them up to new vocabulary and language skills. Not only will this help with their reading comprehension, but this will also encourage their learning development.

Ask your child questions about the stories you read.

What happened at the beginning of the story? Would they take the same actions as the main character? These questions allow your child to think critically about the story and it exercises their brain.

Reading with your child encourages the bond between you and your child and creates lasting memories. Your child will develop a love of books and knowledge that you can foster by visiting the library and reading with him!
