Make Reading a Family Affair

Reading is an interactive process between a reader and text. Each child learns to read at a different pace and manner. It is important that all children are provided with the tools of reading in order to continue to acquire knowledge. They will use these tools to learn, explore, and understand the world.

Tips & Ideas for Encouraging Your Child to Read

Developing an environment that encourages reading is beneficial to children’s reading development. Creating an environment that fosters a love of a variety of literature is central to increasing student achievement. Encourage children to read daily and visit a public library often to spark their interest in books. Also, demonstrate your own love of reading by spending time in which your child observes you reading.

Selecting a Book

Scan the book and discuss what the book is about.
Choose a page and have your child read it. If you discover several confusing and difficult worlds on a page then the book is too difficult.
Check book lists offered by the school or public library.
Find an audio book at the school or public library.
