Teach your preschooler to like books!
Written by califire on March 27th, 2008
Have books all over the place especially in his play area and the bedroom. Keep them in his easy to reach areas so that he can pull out the ones he wants you to read to him.
Keep a designated time of the day for you to read to him or simply explain what the characters in the book are doing. Toddlers love to have make –believe stories wound around the characters they are seeing.
Let your child tell you when he has had enough. Try to limit television viewing as the vivid images often overwhelm the imagination of preschoolers so that they don’t really find books interesting.
Use a public library to show your child how people find books interesting and spend time with him to get familiar with the place.
