Reading to Someone Else

Share a book by reading it aloud to a sibling, friend, or pet.

Reading to someone else is a fun way to share books and practice at the same time. You could read to a little brother or sister, a grandparent, a friend, or even a pet or a stuffed animal. Pets are great listeners because they never interrupt!

Pick a book you know well so you can read it smoothly. Show the pictures as you go, and use fun voices for the characters.

For example, Priya reads a picture book to her baby cousin every Sunday and turns the book around so her cousin can see each page.
