Reading with kids? Try this before you even open the book!

1. Look at the cover and predict what's inside.

2. Talk about what you're curious about.

3. After reading, discuss your discoveries.
This makes reading a conversation, not a task, and helps learning stick! #ReadingTips #Parenting

A hidden library in the mountains of Seoul 📚 The Inwangsan Forest Rest Area used to be a military post, but today it’s a peaceful spot to pause, read, and breathe in the forest air. Such a magical blend of history, books, and nature!

The Wonder of Words!✨
Strong readers love books and the words in them! Boost word knowledge by:

Playing word games e.g.:
⭐Find new words from a root (act → action, react)
⭐Explore words with 2+ meanings (fly)
⭐Play with prefixes (preheat, redo)

Wordplay boosts confidence + love of reading! 📚

Today's #SundayShelfie !

When children are surrounded by books from the start, books become more than objects, they become friends. The sooner we encourage their natural curiosity, the more likely they are to become lifelong readers.
Let's make books a part of their daily routine!

My little Bookworm here isn't just reading, her brain is developing! Children can drop 3 months in reading skills during the holidays! But just 15-20 min daily reading prevents this 'summer slide.' In addition, let them choose their books;

Holiday reading is officially OPEN! ☀️📚
The best reading is the kind you WANT to do. Let children explore without pressure this holiday, graphic novels, fairy tales, or that dinosaur book for the 3rd time? PERFECT!
Reading for pleasure builds stronger readers than any assigned list ever could.

Before babies read, they develop print awareness - understanding that text has meaning! Watch them "pretend read," babble at books, and turn pages. Support this by reading aloud often, pointing to words, and modeling book handling. #BabyDevelopment #ReadingToBaby 📖

📚 Want to boost your child’s brainpower & school success? READ to them, daily!

Dr. Shilpa (@pedsbraindoc) says big words = big brain boosts. Even if they don’t “get it” yet, read it, rephrase it, repeat. It’s how confident learners grow! 💡🎥 #ReadAloud #ParentTips
