Reading a Story While Babysitting

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Aisha Puri and on behalf of Expert Village, this is how to use a babysitter. Now when it comes to story time, the best way to read to a child is to have the child surround you whether you are sitting on the floor or on the couch and everyone is sitting. The children should be placed where they can see the book as you read it. Position the book where they can see and open up each page. Read the page as they are looking at it so that they can see what you are reading. Also, it is good to use creative voices, different tones and even some finger puppet movement that way the child has a visual and sound affect with the story. It is very good to let the child point things out in a story if they see them and ask questions through the story. When the story is over, it is fun to discuss what has happened or what they thought was going to happen toward the end. My name is Aisha and thank you for watching.
