November is Family Literacy Month. Parents reading with their kids enforces learning as well as creating bonds and memories that are cherished. We encourage parents to create a custom family reading program to celebrate this month. Follow the tips below to get started.
Assign characters. Encourage children to take part in group reading by assigning a character to them to read the parts of.
Customized voices. Create different voices for each character to engage children in the story.
Read a chapter a day. Encourage limitations and suspense by reading only a chapter a day. This will encourage build-up and excitement. It will provide something to anticipate and look forward to.
Define key words. Encourage children to point out words they are not familiar with. Take the time to learn what the word means and how it fits in the story.
