Tips to help your child become excited about and interested in books (also called Print Motivation):
-Keep books in child’s bed, so child wakes up to them!
-Treat books as toys-keep them in the toy box.
-Let children choose the books at the library, bookstore, etc-in story time, too!
-Let children see you read-model reading behavior!
-Read with enthusiasm!
-Pay attention to children’s cues and moods-shorten a story, insert movement activities, or just move on! Keep it positive.
-Read/choose books that YOU like, too. Children will pick up on your feeings!
