The TigerKubz website recommends 15 minutes of active reading a day.
It’s not about how many books you read, but how you read them. Engagement, or active reading, is key to a quality reading session with our children. During reading sessions, interact with your child by pointing out details in the pictures, making predictions, discussing the story, and relating it to their experiences. This approach not only enriches vocabulary and comprehension but also introduces new ideas, expanding their understanding of the world. Click/tap the image to find out more.
