Help your child hear rhyming words.
Help your child learn new words.
Talk to your child about the letters of the alphabet while reading.
Point out street signs and food labels that have letters on them.

Let your child pretend to read the book by looking at the pictures.
Ask who, what, when, where, and how questions about the books and stories you read.
Help your child to make his/her own book.
