Enjoy reading the story to spend one after the other with your child. As he reads, he hugs you, feels your warmth, and hears the clear sound of your voice. All of this encourages the development and restoration of a bond of devotion between you.

Make reading a part of your daily sleep routine, and reading to children before bedtime helps them relax and reassure regardless of their age. Hugging yourself while reading your little one's favorite story is fun to end the day.

Pay attention to the pages or books your child is beginning to love. If you pay attention to the things that get his attention, he will understand that you value what he likes.

Identify the emotions expressed with pictures or characters. Do you think it needs to be embraced? Young children need to hear and learn words that express emotions." This helps them to understand better the emotions they are feeling.

Use books to help your child improve certain experiences. For example, listening to and interpreting a story about starting kindergarten, the first day of kindergarten, the failure of a pet, or a fight between friends can be satisfying. In this way, he can see that he is not the only one who has experienced and learned to deal with such situations.

Read books that your child can handle. Older children enjoy searching for interactive books, while children enjoy searching for cardboard or plastic books with their fingers and mouths. Encourage your child to feel the structure, hear the sound effects, pull the nails, lift the wings, etc. invite

Take time to talk about the story together. For example, ask your child, "I wonder what will happen next," or "What do you think the little girl will do?" So, ask him who you are talking about: "Where is the cow?" He also asked her what it was. 

You can also ask questions: Do not answer the question yourself immediately. Give him some time to understand that you are waiting for an answer, and then answer him. Thus, he discovers that communication is a two-way relationship.

Change your tone often and play with your facial expressions to emphasize what you are saying. For example, your child will be surprised to hear the story by whispering to a character at bedtime or raising a loud voice to talk about something inspiring. It will also learn to observe your face and hear your voice to better express emotions.

Escape to an imaginary world together. Let your child's creativity run wild as you read the report and comment on the bizarre drawings that turn reading into play.

To teach

Exclude keywords or phrases and re-read his favorite stories. Your child will be happy to complete your sentences or repeat their favorite nursery rhymes or have the opportunity to tell a story in their way. This will make the reading very interactive.

Use reading to talk about objects' color, shape, and size. It will take some time for your toddler to name these abstract concepts correctly, but books will create it more comfortable for them to comprehend.

Discover new places without leaving your home. Reading is a wonderful way to instruct your kid near places and adventures that would otherwise be inaccessible. Introduce it to the cultures and countries of the sea, space, or far away. Books also help to awaken him to new ideas.

Get your child ready to read stories. So he knows how the book is handled. For example, he opens the pages from right to left and looks at them in order.
