Nurturing a Love of Literacy

Basketball Camp @ Borah High

How can you encourage your child to love reading, writing, and language so much that he begs for a bedtime story or a trip to the library? In any home, there are countless ways to encourage a child’s love of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Here are eight simple ideas for including literacy in your everyday routine. Support budding readers and writers as they test their new skills. Your child needs time and space to explore books and print on his own or with friends. You can: • create a cozy book nook in your home where you keep lots of good books • reread favorite books, especially ones that invite your child to chime in (predictable books) • create a space where you and your child can leave notes for each other—an erasable white board, for example • make reading and writing part of play—for example, provide materials for making menus for a pretend restaurant or suggest reading aloud to stuffed animals and dolls • staple sheets of paper together so your child can, with your help, write and illustrate a story Offer books throughout your home and even outdoors. Be sure to provide a wide variety of styles and topics • information books, such as Byron Barton’s Airport • books, songs, and poems with strong rhymes, such as Raffi’s Down by the Bay • stories with detailed plots, such as Mercer Mayer’s There’s an Alligator under My Bed • books in your home language and in English • books that reflect your culture and family • classic books and new books • books with beautiful, inspiring illustrations
