Reading isn't just about the story-it's about connection and conversation!
1. Let Them Turn the Pages - Builds interest and involvement
2. Point to Pictures - Label objects: "Dog! Woof woof!"
3. Ask Simple Questions - "Where's the cat?" "What's that?"
4. Pause Often - Give them time to comment or respond
5. Read the Same Book Often - Familiar books help with memory and confidence
6. Choose books with simple pictures, repetitive language, and big text.
