Parent Zone!
Parent Tip: Rotate a stash of kid-friendly books in your car. Your daily commute can become a great opportunity for your baby to learn how to hold and turn the pages of a book – and your toddler or preschooler can enjoy “reading time” on the go!

Ways to Inspire the Love of Reading
- Ways to Inspire a Lifelong Love of Reading:
- Be a reading role model. Let your child see you reading often for pleasure.
- Anything with written words is considered reading. It’s easy to find ways to read everywhere! From your breakfast cereal box to signs on the street, words are all around us. Point them out to your child throughout your day.Plan a family book night where you read silly stories, jokes, and riddles to show your child just how fun reading can be!
- Fill a toy bin or the bottom of a bookshelf with kid-friendly books and coloring pages for easy access.
- If you have more than one child, ask your older children to read to their younger siblings. The “big kids” will be proud to show off their skills while the younger children will want to read just like their older brothers or sisters.
- Replace screen time with book time – in other words, more laps, fewer apps! Your child will learn more from a book than any educational app or TV program. And it helps their imaginations soar!
