Make Reading Fun!

Regardless of the age of your child, reading can be fun with these activities.

1. Dress-Up Day.

Invite your child to choose a character from a favorite book. Help your child find descriptive passages that tell about the character. Then invite your child to decide how the character would dress and act. Have a dress-up day when your child dresses up as the character and reads portions of the book aloud.

2. Guess the Character.

Take on the role of a character from a favorite story. Then have your child try to guess the identity of the character by asking a maximum of ten questions that can be answered “yes” or “no”. Take turns with different characters and see how many questions it takes to guess the character.

3. Character Interview.

Invite your child to pretend to be a character from a favorite story. Explain that you are going to interview the character, and they should answer all your questions as the character would. After you interview your child/character, choose another character together and switch roles. Now it’s your child’s turn to interview you!
