Keep your read-aloud book handy, peg read-aloud time to a regular part of your day, and get to it as early in the day as possible. Mark your progress, if you’re inclined to, and make it easy to dive right into read-aloud time by creating a read-aloud shelf where activities are easy to grab. Take advantage of a captive audience in the car whenever you can, and tread carefully when it comes to screens. Remember not to expect your child to choose watermelon over a candy bar.
