First Grade Phonics Tips: Take Advantage of the Library

Public libraries provide tons of free valuable resources for children and families. Librarians can offer specific recommendations about books for your child as well as interesting authors and illustrators for you to consider. Often displays are seasonal and provide children with exposure to a wide variety of subjects, genres, and levels of books. This is especially helpful for reluctant readers who might benefit from seeing different kinds of books. A child who might shy away from chapter books might enjoy how-to books or books filled with fun facts and trivia. The best part is your family can try a variety of books for free. Being interested and enjoying reading are important components to becoming a strong reader.
