Improving Reading

bullet KEEP GOOD BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS IN THE HOUSE. 
Make it easy--both for adults and children--to find something interesting to read. 

bullet ADD TO YOUR CHILDREN'S ENJOYMENT OF READING BY DISCUSSING EACH BOOK THEY READ. 
It helps them learn to express themselves. You'll enjoy the conversations, too. 

bullet MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN SEE YOU READ FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES A DAY.
Remember, you're their primary role model. 
bullet
ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO READ BY DEVELOPING A ROUTINE READING TIME. 
Have your child curl up with a good book at bedtime or after dinner.  They should view the time as a period to relax and use their imagination.
