This video introduces caregivers to the many ways they can help children with reading skills while on the go, such as spotting all the places where you see letters and words in a city block, at a store, or on the road. Signs are everywhere. Children can find and point out words on a sign or talk about the meaning of signs. Using menus in restaurants, children can match pictures to words or make up a story about a food. Singing with children helps them hear each syllable because each has a different note.

Reading on the Go is one of three videos in the “Reading ‘Round the Clock” series created by the State Library of Ohio, the Ohio Educational Library Media Association (OELMA), INFOhio, and the Ohio PTA.
