While your child will start to develop reading skills when they start preschool, reading at home is a great way to teach your child that reading is fun and an open door to a million different stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make it fun<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When reading with your preschooler, always make it a fun and positive experience\u2014never force it if your child is having trouble concentrating or is too tired. Make sure to vocalize how much you enjoy this time with them and explain why you love to read. Form the routine by reading at the same time of day every time you read together. Reading is fun! Use silly voices and be as interactive as possible to get your child involved with the story and words. If your child has a favorite story in particular, re-read it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Involve your child<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting your child as involved as possible is key during this stage. Have them make predictions about what will happen next and put emphasis on pictures and various objects on the page. Repeating words that rhyme and other interesting sounds along with pauses for them to say words with you is key for an interactive reading experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pace yourself<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always let your child go at his own pace\u2014every child learns differently in his own way. It\u2019s most important that you find what works most effectively for your little one and encourage this with positivity. This will instill a love for reading that will last a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/tomball\/2020\/08\/01\/how-to-help-your-preschooler-be-a-better-friend\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Help Your Preschooler be a Better Friend<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkids21tx.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Tomball<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Tomball, Texas?
