Talk to Your Child and Really Listen to What He/She Has to Say
Make time during the day or evening to listen to your child talk about his/her
day. It could be about a book that was read, what happened at school or on
the way home.
Ask questions that begin with what, how or why so that your child will be
prompted to respond with more than a simple "yes" or "no". Show that you
are interested in the response.

Talk to Your Child and Really Listen to What He/She Has to Say
Listen to stories on CDs, watch a television programme and go to story-
telling sessions together at the library or community centre. Talk about what
you saw or heard together. Share the part you liked best and give your
reasons. Listen to your child's choice and encourage him/her to give
reasons also.

will want to imitate what you do.
Set aside a quiet place in your home for you and your child to read without
distractions. Stock this place with books, magazines, newspapers, comic
strips and other print materials that might interest your child.

Read with Your Child Every Day
Read aloud your child's (and your own) favourite stories. Encourage your
child to retell familiar stories in his/her own words.
Keep these reading sessions fun and do not "test" your child with too many
questions.
