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 and write. Reading with your child also helps them 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
- spend special time together.
Resources on the Let’s Read website include reading tip sheets and book suggestion lists for children aged 0-5 years.
