Our 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, lift-the-flap, or die-cut feature, like Cookie See, Cookie Do and Go Away Big Green Monster. 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.) or characters they love. For instance, we have tons of Sesame Street books to check out! Another way to foster a love of books is by reading some that include activities you can do while reading, like moving with If You're A Monster and YOu Know It and Cookie See, Cookie Do.
