READING
Try and get a chance to take over the job your parent is doing and make them read to you while you do the job.
For example: Dad is vacuuming, or Mum is servicing the car. You take over the job and they read out loud to you)
Encourage them to use voices and make the book more exciting with their own expression. If someone gives you a funny look or says that you should be quiet, ask them to join and speak for a character with your parent
