Do this

  1. Let everyone choose reading material without judging level, genre, or whether pictures do most of the work.
  2. Build a comfortable reading spot with safe lighting and enough personal space.
  3. Begin with ten minutes of quiet reading, then offer choices: continue alone, pair-read, or listen to someone read aloud.
  4. Close by sharing one line, picture, fact, or question - passing is always allowed.

Keep it easy

Choose one short picture book or article to read together.

Take it further

Make bookmarks with a space to record the next page and one favorite moment.
