Reading Tips for Little Learners

Read with fun in your voice

Build vocabulary by focusing on and talking about new words.

Connect the story to your child's world.

Ask your child questions about the book and encourage them to ask questions.

Make reading part of your everyday routine.

When you read the words, whenever possible, act them out too!

Hold the book so your child can see the pictures.

Make the plot come alive by discussing the illustrations.

Reading Everywhere!

Make text come alive around your home by using a sticky note, index card, or extra piece of

paper to label a page.

Hang the label near a book and discuss the letters and their meaning with your child. Labeling

helps children learn that letters come together to make words and creates a print rich

environment in your home.

Pre-Reading Building Block

Find a mirror and make scary or funny monster faces and gestures with your child. Describe the monster you are trying to be like to your child. Ask your child to make funny faces too.

Let's Play

In the book, Grover builds a wall to try to keep the reader from turning the page. Using blocks, magnatiles, cups, or other items from your home to build a wall. Knocking over the wall is the most fun part!
