Family Literacy Month tip: “Talk the pictures” before you read the words. Ask, “What do you see?” “What might happen next?” This builds vocabulary, prediction, and narrative skills—no prep needed!

A great tip for Family Literacy Month 📖📚📘📗📙🍎 is to schedule a dedicated daily reading time where the whole family reads together, and to make reading a fun and interactive experience. For example, try having everyone take turns reading aloud, discussing the story, or acting out scenes, and don't be afraid to read graphic novels or books you have seen in a movie.

Make reading fun and interactive
* Let kids choose: Let your child pick the books to read, including comics and graphic novels, to nurture their interests.
* Get creative: Make reading a themed event, like a "camp-out" in the living room, or create a cozy reading nook.
* Act it out: Read with enthusiasm, make silly voices, or act out scenes to keep the experience engaging.
* Combine reading and movies: Choose a book that has a movie version, read the book first, and then watch the movie together to compare.
* Use different formats: Incorporate different types of reading materials, like recipes, newspapers, or songs, into daily activities.

Speech Tip: Incorporate fall play by using activities like playing in leaves, pumpkin carving, and going on nature walks. To build vocabulary, use games like matching and what's missing, or create a word wall and sentence building activities. Focus on sensory details, actions, and descriptive words to make learning engaging.
