Reading Together

It's important for children to have a good feeling for book sharing time.  Remember that you don't need to finish a book in one sitting.  If your child is not in the mood even after you have made a special place and time for sharing books and even after you have encouraged your child's participation, don't turn it into a power struggle.  Just close the book and come back to it another time.

Try ThisModel not finishing a book.  Choose a book (such as Deborah Guarino's "Is Your Mama a Llama?")  from which you can read just a few pages to accommodate a child's limited attention span.
