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, or having your child help you read by saying a repeating phrase. Choosing books that have a pop-up or lift-the-flap feature, like Jazzy in the Jungle and Pop-up Wild Animals, also make reading fun and exciting for your little one. 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.).
