Are you like me and read a lot to your kiddos? This is just one example of how to switch up reading that we do with our kiddos all the time.
My kiddos often pick out the same books over and over again. Sometimes it’s really annoying when it’s a book I don’t necessarily like, but it’s familiar, interesting and probably comforting to our kiddos.
Next time you’re reading one of those books for the umpteenth millionth time, make it into a sneaky learning game by pausing and leaving out a word for your child to fill in. They’ll love it (unless they’re cranky!) You could always use this little technique with an emergent reader, pausing to see if they can read a new word!
(By the way, I’ve added a widget sharing some of our favorite books at the moment. It’s over there on the sidebar.)
Sneaky learning: increasing vocabulary, reading comprehension, pre-reading, concentration, listening skills
