2.  Reading daily with your child is very important.  Pick a comfortable spot to read in - one with plenty of light.

3.  Make it a routine - whether it's right before the breakfast, or right before bed, set aside a special time every day.  It's never too early. Introduce reading in the very beginning, keep books in the nursery and have your books out for baby and toddler to see!  The fun continues after the last page! When you finish a story, ask your child about his/her favorite passages, characters, and illustrations.

4.  Read the Title, Author’s Name, and Illustrator’s  Ask Your Child to Make Predictions  Take a “picture walk”/Ask Your Child What Is Happening In the Pictures

5.  Move Your Finger Under Words as You Read  Ask Questions  Reread the same books again…and again…(and again)

6.  Really enjoy the book with your child-It really doesn’t matter if you follow each of these rules. If you don’t take time to truly enjoy a book with your child, the likelihood of them enjoying it greatly decreases. Enjoy the book and enjoy the time, because both are over much too soon.
