Don't have books? Tired of reading the ones you do have? No problem! Make your own (including props!). Reading is one of the best ways to increase vocabulary, work on back and forth language, increase skills with answering questions, demonstrate memory with real experiences related to the book, and practice participating in a structured task. Bonus points if you then follow up the book with a related activity. For example, If you read a book about swimming, talk about that while your child is in the bathtub. Bonus, bonus points- read the book again after bath time!
