Importance of Reading
Reading at home is invaluable to a child’s academic development.
Research has shown that the one on one reading time and access to books are important predictors of future literacy skills and inevitably, future educational outcomes. Here are some tips to create strong readers:
1. Build reading into your child's daily routine.
2. Read every day.
3. Make a special reading spot.
4. Encourage your child to follow their interests.
5. Be a great reading partner!
6. Surround your child with books.
7. Bring books everywhere.
8. Set a good example; be caught in the act!
9. Be enthusiastic!
10. Take breaks while reading.
