Make room for curiosity
Your child may want to stay on one page or choose the same book again. Talk about the pictures, name objects and allow time for a response. You do not need to read every word; build your own conversation around the illustrations.
Keep it small and flexible
Keep a few sturdy books within easy reach. Avoid turning reading into a test; pause when interest fades. Libraries and book swaps can offer opportunities to explore stories in different languages.
Your next little step
Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
Let a book start a conversation
A familiar object in an illustration can lead to a conversation about your own life. If your child turns the page, continue from there. You do not always need a question; naming something and waiting can be enough for a shared moment.
Take turns choosing books
Sometimes choose a book yourself and sometimes let your child choose. Returning to the same book is fine. Rather than measuring the time by pages completed, notice how the shared experience feels for both of you.
