Share the reading experience with your child. If your child is able, invite him or her to read aloud with you. Try reading one character's dialogue and letting your child read another's. Children not yet able to read can chime in on rhyming words or words that appear over and over again in the story. As you read, ask your child to tell what he or she thinks about the characters, the pictures, and the story so far.
