TIPS FOR READING WITH YOUR LITTLE ONES

Let your child hold the book and turn the pages.

Reading before bedtime helps your child relax!

When the story has a sound effect, make the most of it! A loud “boom” and an animal sound “oink” will help keep children engaged.  

Let your child choose the book.
