Make the selection of books you read a joint effort.  It is important to keep in mind your child's interests and his/her abilities.
	Select books from various places; old favorites from home, public  library, borrow from a friend or neighbor, purchase from used book stores , garage sales, buy a new book, or order books from a book club.
	Selecting the same book over and over again is fine.  We call them "old favorites."
	When you read select book that are above your child's reading ability to challenge their listening skills, introduce them to good literature and build their vocabulary.
	When you have your child read, select books at his/her independent level.  Encourage your child to track with their finger and don't forget to "picture walk."
