Early Literacy Strategies - Print Motivation

The second skill is Print Motivation. A child with print motivation is interested in and enjoys being read to. What can you do to help your child develop this skill?
  • Begin reading books early – even to your newborn.

  • Make book sharing time a special time with just you and your baby or toddler.

  • Let your child see you reading.

  • Visit your public library often.

  • Read together every day. Identify pictures, concepts and ideas as you read the book together.



It is important to remember that children who enjoy being read to will want to learn how to read.
