Ready to Read Skill: Print Motivation (Loving Books)
Print Motivation means being interested in and enjoying books. There are many ways to encourage this skill with your child, but the best way is to make reading fun! Some ways to do this include helping your child choose books to read with you, trying funny voices for the characters in the books, having your child help you read by saying a repeating phrase, or choosing books that have a pop-up or lift-the-flap feature. Also, feel free to ask the librarians at the branch you visit for books about topics your child is interested in (for example: trains, frogs, princesses, etc.). This week, our toddlers were so excited about the die-cuts on the pages of Mommy Where Are You that they couldn't wait to see what was on the next page! They were so interested that they helped me turn the pages. Even if your child is too excited about seeing the next cut-out or pop-up for you to actually read what is on the pages, allow them some time to to spend just looking and telling you what they see. The most important part of Print Motivation is making reading time fun for you and your child!
