Let them turn pages (even if they skip some).
Don't worry about reading every word — follow their interest.
Tips
Read the same books over and over — repetition builds language.
Touch-and-feel books are great for this age.
Ask questions: "Where's the cat?" and wait for them to point.
Library visits are free and exciting for toddlers.
