 I think a top reading tip for a parent to read a child and I read to my child as well is just to enjoy it. I can't say any more than that just to enjoy the book and enjoy it with the child. Well I've actually done an MVQ course here at the school all about teaching children to read so I've got an MVQ in teaching child to read and I think not overly correcting them all the time so they lose their confidence there. It's nice if you can help them out but then let them make their own mistakes and correct their own mistakes then. I spend a lot of time reading with my children particularly at bedtime. I have two children so I get to spend time with each of them individually so this is our way of focusing on my son is eight and my daughter is five so it's our way of focusing on the books that they like to read. I do enjoy reading with her and now she's getting older. It's nice because she can read to me then and she likes the expressions and the voices so that is really good fun to enjoy doing that. It's nice to spend time bonding doing something because life is so manic and it is nice to just have ten minutes even just to do that and it is really enjoyable for both of us then. And I'd certainly recommend as well just take ten minutes out of any day and just spend that time reading with your child and you will love it and the child will love it and they'd love reading.
