At Alexandria (Old Town) our teachers love reading to children of all ages because they know that it has immense benefits, including improving visual, cognitive, language and social-emotional development.

It’s never too early or too late to start — here are some ways to read with your child children at every age!

📖 Choose durable books for infants. Touching, holding and mouthing are all part of their learning process!
📖 Make it interactive with toddlers. Point out pictures, ask questions like, “can you find the sun?” or “how do you think they feel?” and bring the story to life with sound effects.
📖 Ask your preschooler to choose the books. This supports their self-expression and decision-making skills.
📖 Pick stories that have rhymes and repeat the rhyming words together with your pre-k or kindergartner. This helps them with letter-sound recognition as they get ready to learn to read on their own.

Has your summer felt like this? Invite your child to help by making it a game. “How much can you clean up before this timer runs out?” Be silly and ask them if their socks go in the kitchen drawer. Then ask them to show you where they go.
