Quote: "Teach parents how to choose appropriate books and use techniques to boost their children's engagement with the book, such as making predictions, asking questions, and talking about illustrations. Teachers also explain the benefit of rereading boks and suggest that parents promote children's response after reading through role-playing, using puppets to retell the story, drawing pictures, and other activities." pg. 32
Comment: I really like this quote because I think it is so important for parents to not only read to their children at home, but read more interactively. Some children love reading books and others don't. But I would say the majority of children love listening to other people read. If it is more interactive, the child might be more likely to enjoy the story as well as remember it.
Question: What are some good ways to get children who only really like being read to, to read on their own and enjoy it?
You could try making reading interactive by letting the students read by themselves and assigning group activities after. For example: give three students the same Choose Your Own Adventure book. Have them read and choose until they reach an "end". Have the students retell their choices as a story and compare each other's adventures.
