Do you read with your kid everyday?

reading to your child

Below is a website with some lists of award winning children's books. I know there are tons of other sites out there that will give recommended reading lists this is just one I found quickly. I hope that can give you some good ideas. I agree my son loves the Clifford, Thomas, Bob the Builder books too, the problem is the writing isn't as good as many other children's books, but if they are interested we can't stop them right?

Also with regards to when do you stop reading to your child, I think it is great to read to your child for as long as possible. When you child begins reading on their own, you choose books that would be too challenging for them to read on their own but they are interested in. You can read aloud and just pause for them to fill in a word to make sure they are also reading along, or have them read a paragraph then you read a page, later it becomes really important for them to hear you reading fluently, so they understand how to reading should sound.

Sorry if this is more info than you wanted. Hope it helps

Hi

I read to my 30 month old son daily a couple of time and I am also homeschooling him. He has learnt GD flashcards and has completed cards on fruits, vegetables, household items, people, occupations and vehicles and currently he is doing alphabets cards - both small and captial letters and by naming items starting with the alphabets. He also enjoys reading and at time when I am very busy, he will look at books on his own.

We made it a point to go to the library regularly where we borrow books for him. And we also sing lots of songs, rhymes together. It is a enjoyable time reading and bonding with him.
