Make Reading a Habit!
According to Collette Coleman with the Literacy Daily blog of the International Literacy Association, an increase in reading can be accomplished with the whole family by making a special moment for reading every day at the same time.
Help your reader grow by starting with a realistic goal such as 30 minutes a day, which can be divided up with a morning and an evening time for younger readers.
For the best results, be sure to read TO your child, read WITH your child and have your child read BY themselves.
Lastly, encourage your child to practice their skills by using the Family Practice link at the top of the page. Happy Reading!
