Tips for encouraging early readers

​1. Encourage your child to read to an audience - sibling, parent, grand parent or dolls/stuffed toys/pets
2. Be guided by your child. Listen to their reading ability. Let them choose easier books initially (if they want to) to build confidence in reading, gently encourage your child to try reading higher reading level type books
3. Pause the urge to correct as they read. Once they have read the page, ask them to revisit the passage to check their pronunciation. If they continually make the same mistake, gently correct them. 
4.  Finally, even as your child gets older, continue to read aloud to your child. It's one way to spend quality time together. 
Happy Reading!
