Early intervention builds foundational reading abilities.
Active parental involvement helps cultivate a love of reading that can result in a lifetime of learning. Having parents participate is essential for creating a solid reading foundation. Here are five ways to help your child develop reading skills:
Create a comfortable reading nook or reading corner in your home.
Creating a cozy reading nook or corner can be inexpensive. Our posters will help to enliven the space. Reading, talking, and singing promote language development in early childhood. Price $49.00 - Read to the Moon and Back Poster.

Purchase a reading app or program like Hooked on Phonics.
When my son was a toddler we used Hooked On Phonics. The Learn to Read program is based on research and approved by the Children's Reading Foundation. We reviewed several reading programs as parents, and homeschoolers we decided on “Hooked On Phonics” for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. Price $1 for your 1st month - View Hooked On Phonics.
Read books to your child.
When selecting a book, look beyond the title. Examine the content and illustrations. Is the book age-appropriate, enjoyable, engaging, educational, and enhances mental health and wellness?
Ask questions to boost conversation.
Focus on the words on the page, establish a relationship with your child, and ask questions to boost conversation.
Connect the book with real-life experiences.
Visit your neighborhood library and encourage the child to check out books from the school’s media center. Remember to review the books that your child voluntarily checked out or was assigned to read. Price $39.99 - Click On The Owl Poster.
