Reading

Encourage Reading!

Set aside time each day for reading aloud, or, if your child prefers, for silent reading. Try to make it the same time each day so your children expect and look forward to this time with you. Pick something to read that your children are interested in. Talk about what you’ve read with your children. This will help your children understand what they are reading. Encourage your children to draw and/or write about what they’ve read. Doing this may help them learn to focus on what they are learning from the books. Local libraries often develop fun summer activities around reading. Bring books with you wherever you go!
