Tips for parents on choosing children's books:
1. Choose books that can open doors for discussions for children (books about events happening in their lives).
2. Try using predictable books with repeated text, rhyming, and colorful pictures that correspond to the text.
3. Use some books with familiar characters, because children will feel a connection between them and the character.
4. Choose books that match your child's interests, such as dinosaurs, soccer or baking.
5. Choose a book that is age appropriate and on the correct reading level!
