Encourage Reading

Experts say that encouraging children to read may be the most important thing parents can do to
insure children's school success.

Get the entire family involved in reading books aloud to each other. Be a reading role model - make
sure children see you reading

Go the library often. It's free and it has a better selection than any book store.

Reading unusual places - under a tree, on the floor, in the park, upstairs, downstairs.

When it's fun and interesting and everybody's doing it, parents can make reading exciting and
important for children.
