If your child knows the book well, or even if they don’t, let them have a go at becoming the storyteller just from looking at the pictures on the page. It will help them to improve their speaking skills and grow more confident.
Your child will enjoy choosing books for themselves from a bookshelf they can reach or book box at home, or even ebooks on a phone or tablet. This will help you both to discover the kind of stories they enjoy the most.
Your child might prefer to listen to audiobooks. Why not listen together for a completely immersive and relaxing experience?

Words for Life has lots of activity suggestions to help make the most of reading with your child.
