1. Create a Print-Rich Environment
Surround your child with books, magazines, newspapers, and written materials. Label items around the house to help them connect written words with objects.
2. Read Together Daily
Establish a daily reading routine. Even 15-20 minutes of shared reading can significantly impact your child's literacy development.
3. Use Phonics Games
Make learning letter sounds fun with interactive games and activities that reinforce phonetic awareness.
4. Encourage Storytelling
Let your child tell their own stories. This develops narrative skills and vocabulary while building confidence in verbal expression.
5. Practice Sight Words
Focus on high-frequency words that appear commonly in children's books to build reading fluency.
