# TIPS FOR BOOK READING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

- Select high-quality books that interest your child; ask a librarian, care provider, or teacher for guidance.
- Read different kinds of books, including informational books, storybooks, and more.
- Reread books. Repetition gives children many chances to absorb the language of the book.
- Make reading an enjoyable routine, and try to read at the same time each day.
- Engage your child in talk about the book. Ask questions and respond to your child's questions.
- Build your child's world knowledge. When elements of a book are unfamiliar, give the child enough information to understand the story.
