  4. Use interactive reading strategies: Teachers and parents can use interactive reading strategies to engage the child and promote comprehension. These strategies can include predicting, questioning, and summarizing the story.

  5. Make reading fun: Finally, it is essential to make reading a fun and enjoyable experience for the child. Parents and teachers can do this by incorporating fun activities related to the book or creating a comfortable reading environment.
