Sherlock Holmes in your reading corner

Sherlock Holmes in your reading corner

Children are great at observing, examining, and investigating. Put them to the test and make books attractive to them with a few simple activities that will make them feel like Sherlock Holmes.

• Since children are always creating and inventing gadgets of all kinds, why not take pictures of the many gadgets they make in a day or a week. Print the pictures and use them to create a special gadget picture book. Leave the book out for parents to admire.
  
  
• Provide magnifying glasses and encourage children to use them to look at books. They will enjoy searching for tiny details and identifying similarities and differences, just like real detectives.
  
  
• Before reading a story to your group, photocopy certain pictures or items within the book. Display them on a wall and invite children to find them in the book, as you read to them. This will help them stay focused.
