It is imperative to have life experiences to draw upon while reading. Of course living requires we do have experiences, but it never hurts to add to it. Following are some suggestions that are helpful in reading children's books. They have school experiences so why not ask about them during dinner? This causes reflection and often meshing of other children's experiences during the conversation, maybe even some from your own childhood. Also family outings, which can be as simple as going to dinner, walking through a town square with shops, a walk in the woods or neighborhood together, spending quality time at the park, teaching them skills like bike riding or fixing the car, etc. Put some thought into family activities and help your children to see the stories better!
