Parents – Make reading a part of every day!* Share conversations with your child over meal times and other times you are together. Children learn words more easily when they hear them spoken often. Introduce a new and interesting word at every opportunity.* Read together every day. Spend time talking about stories, pictures, and words.* Be your child’s best advocate. Keep informed about your child’s progress in reading and ask the teacher about ways you can help.* Be a reader and a writer. Children learn habits from the people around them.* Visit the library often. Story times, computers, homework help, and other exciting activities await the entire family. |
