Sarah Jenkins: Make it fun! Create a special reading nook with cozy blankets and pillows. Let kids choose their own books, even if it’s the same one over and over again.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with reading aloud. Use diffrent voices for characters and encourage your children to act out scenes.
