Playdate Kids Publishing encourages parents to read to their children and influence a love of literature at an early age. It is never too early to read to your child.

Here are some tips on how to encourage your child to read:

• Train them early that going to the library can be fun. Visit the library together regularly.
• Buy books and keep them in a special area in their room… this can be a bookcase, closet or in designated drawer. The particular area lets children know that books are important.
• Make sure that your child sees you reading your books. Keep some of your own books around the house.
• Positive reinforcements help! Tell your child that they are a good reader/listener.
• Try buying a children’s magazine and read it together.
• Choose books that you can act out. Have some silly fun reading aloud with the character’s actions and voices.
• Have your child read to you. If they are too young, tell them to give you the names of the pictures in the book.
• Find computer programs or websites that encourage reading. Visit the websites and play the computer programs with your child.

Reading can be fun! You and your child can explore a world of imagination that only literature can offer.

Happy Children’s Book Week!
