Give a Job

When you’re reading together, give your child a job! You might ask them to find every red object or to read every word that starts with the letter “t” aloud. You could also ask them to help you turn the pages or to read every other sentence. Find something that your child can do to help you out throughout the entire book.
Having tasks can make children feel important and like they are more involved in the reading process, even if they cannot read themselves. This might also help children who have a hard time paying attention to engage with the book more easily because they have something they can focus on.
