Allow your child to select some of the books you read together.

Talk about the different parts of the book, such as front cover, back cover, title, author, beginning, and end.

Read slowly (but don't drag it out).

Consider allowing your child to hold the book and turn the pages.  Show your child how to turn one page at a time.

Vary your voice by using lots of intonation and stress.

Talk about the story; relate it to your child's experiences.

Repeat what your child says; add words to make a full sentences (e.g.  CHILD:  "Ttruck."  ADULT:  "Yes, that's a big truck!")

Monitor your child's face and behaviors for signs of boredom or fatigue, and end the session when the child loses interest.

Compliment your child on her or her attempts to read.  Tell your child that he or she is a reader!
