5 Smart ideas for a successful reading time with your child:

1. It’s recommended that you point to the letters with your index finger while reading aloud to your child, that would help him, or her, recognize the letters, and therefore they will be stored in his memory better than only reading the story aloud without him following your finger’s movement.

2. Simplifying the meanings of the words, and explaining what might be hard for the child to understand will achieve the best-desired result of communication between the child and the subject he is listening to.

3. It is better to ask the child to repeat every new word several times to make it easier for him to add it in his personal mind dictionary.

4. While reading the story read it correctly, so the child ears will get used to hearing the words pronounced correctly, which will enable him to speak when he grows up minding grammar rules.

5. Divide the reading material if it was too long to avoid exhausting the child, because as much as he is excited to listen as much he will benefit from reading to him, and Vice versa.
