HOW CAN I GET A CHILD TO ATTEND TO BOOKS:
#1) Ensure your child has an age-appropriate attention span
#2) Read repetitive books because this uses VERBAL ROUTINES! (let your child fill in the blank)
#3) Read sing-songy books! (Melodic Intonation)
#4) Incorporate sensory play and gross motor activities within reading the book! Read 1 page - take a lap or crawl through the tunnel. Read 2 more pages - go through the obstacle course - read 3 pages... you get it
#5) Use a first/then compliance technique to increase motivation (using very simplified language). Develop this skill by beginning with a preferred task (like a high five "FIRST high-five/ then turn page!)
#6) Be EXCITED and OVEREXAGGERATE your voices, sounds and characters!
#7) Pretend to need help! Pretend like the pages are stuck & use those words "STUCK!" "HELP!" Let your child be the HERO & help you!
#8) Use a simple book!!! Don't read an overly wordy book! SIMPLE words, sounds, noises, etc!
instead! Make simple books MORE difficult
#9) Prepare a space AND TIME (make it a routine) for your child to read books! Have a cuddly corner or a special, cozy spot for reading time!
#10) Pick a book that has gross motor activity or movement incorporated into it!
