Yes, you're right about siblings reading to eachother and even helping with the teaching. These are wonderful, precious times and my two older ones are already anxiously working with our toddler! I have fond memories of Nathan and Tabitha spontaneously planning and reenacting quite a few tales with their stuffed animals. There are so many creative ways to include narrations in one's reading routines. And watching the movie made from a book is always a treat around here too. My kids love to critique movies according to their books! Recently they were very impressed by a documentary that we watched, "Exodus Revealed" which incoorperated a lot of archaeology verifying the Israelites and the Exodus, which we'd just been reading about again. They were fascinated! Wonderful ideas Erin, thank you for sharing! Yes, you’re right about siblings reading to eachother and even helping with the teaching.

I have watched my two older boys "teach" my youngest daughter to read and I have watched the two boys read to one another. Peer-to-peer encouragement can sometimes be really key. Also, reading the book and watching the movie (or listening to the audio book) has been a great way in our home to encourage the reading. We have a HUGE variety of reading materials around our house and that has also helped. One last tip: After reading a book, encourage reenactment. Sometimes creating an alternate ending to a story or a prequel/sequel can engage the story telling and create an excitement for hearing new stories! Great ideas!
