Here are some top tips to help make your shared reading sessions full of pleasure and purpose. Remember that you should get actively involved with the book and don't forget to have FUN! 
 

1. Find a comfortable, quiet place to read. 
2. Look through the book with a parent, talk about what you think the story might be about.
3. Try to read different books but you can read the same book if it makes you more confident.
4. Decide how you are going to read the book. You may want to read a page and then listen to your parent read a page.
5. If you are stuck on a word, try reading it slowly and if you think it's wrong ask your parent.
6. Don't worry if you get little words wrong, just read it again and try to remember it for next time.
7. If you make lots of mistakes then try an easier book and come back when you are feeling confident.
8. Talk about the story when you are finished it will help you remember what you have been reading about.
9. Be patient! Don't read too fast as you will make mistakes!
10. Don't try to read too much at once because you will lose concentration and make mistakes. But overall, HAVE FUN!
