Reading with a child is a special experience. It’s a time to learn, laugh, and discover stories together. Storytime at home is also the best way to set your child up for early reading success.
You are your child’s first teacher.
Reading to children regularly helps them develop better language, vocabulary, focus, and social emotional skills. It’s never too early or too late to begin.
This guide is designed to provide fun tips and ideas to help you create meaningful storytime moments at home.
P.S. Are you a school, library, or other organization interested in distributing printed copies of the Reading Together guide? Contact IRW’s Director of Communications, Kelsey Buckley, at kbuckley@islandreadersandwriters.org.
