Books play an important role in your child’s communication development and learning at any age! Reading and storytelling can enhance their fluency, creativity, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Here are 7 ways you can spark your child’s interest in books and stories:

1. Familiarize them with books from a young age
2. Get into a reading routine (e.g. bedtime or nap time)
3. Have them describe the pictures
4. Read their favorite stories again… and again
5. Expand their vocabulary
6. Ask them questions about the story
7. Encourage them to tell their own stories
