Dr. Leala Holcomb, an expert in Deaf education and literacy, offers practical suggestions for encouraging your child to read on their own. Let your child see you reading and encourage them to choose their own books. Try reading a picture book aloud one night, and then having your child read the next night — or take turns reading the chapters in a chapter book. Both of these activities are wonderful moments of shared reading that also help your child build confidence. Presented by Dr. Leala Holcomb and interpreted by Dr. Hannah Dostal.
This video is part of our special series, Reading SOS, where parents ask the experts their questions about reading and how to support their kids at home.
