 Welcome to Room 1  

Readathon 2012

Tips for Parents

During the Readathon we ask all parents to make a special effort to read with their children every night. 

Literacy is the key to success in life and we are passionate about giving children a flying start to becoming independent, confident, life-long readers who can engage with the written word for functional and personal purposes. 

Below are some suggestions on how you can help your child become a happy and confident reader.

· Let your child see you reading – a newspaper, a book, a magazine.

· Talk to your child about the joy of reading.

· Read together every day. Make it an enjoyable activity.

· Join the local library and visit it regularly.

· Give everything a name. Build your child’s vocabulary by talking about interesting words and objects and discussing words in the reading and in the environment around you.

· Read to your child with humour and expression. Use different voices.

· Know when to stop. Put the book away when your child loses interest. Choose a different book or come back to it later.

· Be interactive. Discuss what is happening in the book, ask questions about the story, point out objects and words on the page.

· Read it again and again. Young children especially love repetition so go ahead and read your child’s favourite book for the 100^th time!!

· Point out print everywhere. Talk about written words you see in the world around you. Find new words on each outing.

· In the evening time, turn off the TV and all interactive devices and let your child ‘get lost’ in a book.

· Check out the useful links section on our website for some websites that promote literacy.

We will be spending time engaging in 'silent' reading every day!
