Young children thrive on interaction. Keeping their attention during reading time makes the experience memorable and enjoyable.

  • Choose colorful books with engaging pictures to capture their interest.
  • Use funny voices and expressions to bring stories to life.
  • Read in a comfortable, quiet space where your child can focus.
  • Make bedtime reading a routine to create a sense of security and closeness.

When children feel that reading is fun, they are more likely to engage, listen, and learn.

Early reading supports brain development, language comprehension, and cognitive skills. Even babies benefit from hearing stories and exploring books.

  • Read for just 10 minutes a day to build focus and imagination.
  • Point out shapes, colors, and numbers to enhance learning.
  • Sing nursery rhymes and songs to reinforce rhythm and language.
  • Encourage your child to turn the pages and point to pictures.

By integrating simple reading techniques, parents can boost their child’s literacy and cognitive skills from an early age.

C – Conversation: Encouraging Language and Communication

How the ABC Reading Kit Helps with Conversations

Reading together provides opportunities to ask questions, develop language skills, and encourage self-expression.

  • Ask your child open-ended questions about the story.
  • Pause and encourage them to predict what happens next.
  • Discuss characters and emotions to build empathy and understanding.
  • Relate the story to real-life experiences to deepen their connection.

When parents make reading interactive, children engage more and improve their communication skills.
