One of
the greatest gifts you can give a child is to help him or her grow as a
reader. We offer the following tips for parents to help a child's reading
confidence by using the local public library to select and enjoy good
books to read.
 |
Make library visits a
regularly scheduled family activity. |
|
|
Get a library card for
yourself and for your child as soon as the child can write his or her
name. Ask the librarian, library assistant, or clerk about your
local public library's individual requirements for a card. |
|
|
Attend library story times
together and visit the library for programs for children. |
|
|
Help your child select books
to borrow, but be sure to allow the child to choose as well. |
|
|
Use the computers to look up
titles and authors. |
|
|
At home, establish a regular
spot for library books to rest when not in use. Mark a calendar or
special note card to remind you of the date the books are due and when to
make a return visit. |
Enjoy reading together.
