Get Ready to Read

Skills to Practice this Month

Take your child to many places like the library, the park, the grocery store, the post office, church, a friend’s home. Having many different experiences will help your child’s brain develop and see that words are everywhere.

Words are learned through conversations and experiences as you talk with your child about what is happening in the world around you.

Visiting your library will help children to enjoy books, and children who enjoy books want to learn to read.
