 Expert coach speaks

The best way to instil a love for and interest in reading is to

simply read to your child. Reading gives you the opportunity
for close bonding with your child, and it also provides a
window into a world of literacy that your child is about to
enter.

A text-rich environment lays the groundwork for reading

success. It is not just about having books in the home,
although that’s a great start. You can also start talking about
letters, numbers, and words on packages and signs.
