Parents as Partners in Reading - Reading can be a family affair.  When you read, you help create an environment that encourages reading in your home.  Children imitate and usually want to copy the accomplishments and activities of adults.  Here are some suggestions on how to encourage literacy.  Happy reading! 

☛ Call attention to colours, shapes and situations in books and relate them to your child’s experiences. 

☛Give your child time to talk to you.  Listen to your child.
