Snuggle up and read with your child every day.

Have a special place to keep your books.

Let your child act out the story.

They might be moving but they are still listening!

Talk about interesting words and what is happening in the book.

Show your child how much you love reading and use expression and humour when reading to them.

Give your child their own short shopping list with words and pictures. 

Make your own picture books.

Play I Spy (use the letter sounds).
