Fostering children’s love of literacy is an accessible and practical way for families to be involved in the process of their early literacy development.
Most libraries have really neat summer reading programs.
My local libraries gives entrants a free book just for signing up, and a prize for reading five books over the summer. (For grownups the prize is a pint glass.)
As mentioned, libraries are awesome. I recommend making a habit out of regularly going to the library with your children, even if they can’t read yet. At our library they have a large selection of children’s books that are meant to be read to children rather than read by them. Start with these and make reading a normal part of your day. When your child asks you to read to them, try to make that possible. This might implant the habit of reading in your children.
