Mother and baby reading together

Helping you read with your child

Reading with your child is one of the most important things you can do to develop your child’s ability to read, write and build skills for starting school. Let’s Read supports you in reading aloud with your child. It helps you and your child develop a love of books, share rhymes, stories and songs, and spend special time together.

Resources on the Let’s Read website include reading tip sheets and book suggestion sheets for children aged 0-5 years.

Raising Children Network is proudly affiliated with Let’s Read. To find out more about reading with your child and developing literacy, visit the Let’s Read website and see our articles below.
