Reading in Preschool, located in New York, NY, believes that reading is a critical skill to develop at a young age. After all, it informs the way your child learns about other subjects, affects their ability to communicate, and improves their ability to think critically. That's why reading tutors from Reading in Preschool provide private tutoring that takes reading out of the classroom and into the home. Children can see that reading isn't just a classroom activity—it can actually be fun!

Within the program, your child will be encouraged to apply their skills to personal reading time at home. To aid in this process, parents can encourage their children to read more often. 

Here are some tried and true tips for encouraging kids to read that have worked for Reading in Preschool's team of tutors:

  • Make It Engaging: Teachers within the program incorporate preschool reading games to make reading more enjoyable for children. Parents can do something similar. Ask your Reading in Preschool tutor for some tips to engage the child, and they can help you create games out of reading!
  • Build Confidence: A confident child will pick up a book and read it. They won't worry if they don't know or understand every word right away. You can provide positive reinforcement when your child is learning, and help them by using praise and gentle instruction. 
  • Use Books They Love: There are so many amazing books out there with stories that can have a big impact on the way your child views the world. Reading tutors are happy to make book recommendations, but you also know what your child is interested in. Pick out books that are consistent with their interests, from princesses to pets. It may be helpful to choose a book with engaging pictures to aid with your child's reading comprehension. Even better—take them to your nearest public library and invite them to choose books for themselves!

Your child may just be learning to read, or he or she might be struggling in the classroom. Either way, Reading in Preschool will bring relief to your family by helping your child along in their journey with fun and engaging reading classes.
