During the Summer

1) Schedule time each week or every other week to visit the library with your child.  You can create a weekly outing, where you stop at the park or stop for ice cream after choosing books. 
2) At the library monitor the books your children choose.  Guide them to the section the librarian suggested to you earlier.  Limit the number of books your children pick out.  Make sure they will be able to complete the books before going back.  If they choose too many books, they will likely get overwhelmed and not read any, if they choose too few, they will likely finish and have nothing to read way ahead of your next scheduled visit to the library. 
3) Check the books your child chooses for reading levels.  If they continually choose books below their reading level, they may be unsure or lack confidence in their reading skills.  If they choose books above the level, be encouraging, but guide them to choose one or two at their level as well.  You may want to have your child choose a few books at level and one book above their level to encourage growth in their reading skills.
4) Choose a book for yourself each time you visit the library.
5) At home, spend some time looking at the books.  Read the back covers or look through at the pictures.  Discuss what the book might be like and why your child chose that particular book. 
6) Pick a time of day for reading.  Set aside between 15 and 30 minutes for “reading time.”   If your child is younger, this will be a time you spend reading together.  As they get improve, they should be reading some of the time by themselves and some with you. 
7) Let your child see you read.  If your child knows that you enjoy reading, they will find more enjoyment in it as well. 
8) Use your library time and reading time to enjoy just being with your child.
