More Library Trip Tipsby Lyn Newton | More from this Blogger 19 Jun 2008 08:29 AM My last few articles have focused on taking trips to the library with your children. Young children of all ages can benefit from trips to the library. While some parents hesitate about taking a trip to the local library, it is an experience that all children should have. I also began offering some tips and advice for taking trips to the library with your child. Those tips will continue. Some parents find it hard to turn over the idea of checking out books to their child. However it is important that you allow your child to choose the books that interests him or her. Some parents wish to choose books for their child and pick the books that feel their child should read. However it is best to give your child some independency when picking out books. Help your child keep with the library's system. Create a calendar for your child in order for him or her to keep up with the books are due back to the library. This s a great way to teach responsibility and to teach new skills. Create a special library book location. Have a separate basket or shelf for library books. This helps create a special feeling for the books and also make them easier to keep up with. Some parents do not want their child to check out books because they fear their child will lose them. This can help with that fear. Keep books visible in your home. Do not place the books out of sight to be forgotten. Keep books easily accessible and in view. Record your child's favorite stories. This way your child can listen to them when you are not available for reading or even in the car. You can easily create your own books on tape. Use a bell or another symbol to let your child know when to turn the page. Learn more about Lyn Newton  Lyn is a kindergarten teacher and mommy to a girl and a boy.
