Parents
"One of the most important things parents can do, other than to help their children grow up healthy and happy is to help them develop strong reading skills. It is no exaggeration to say that how well children learn to read directly affects how well they perform in school and how successful they are throughout their lives. When children learn to read, they have the key that opens doors to all the knowledge in the world.
Although well-trained teachers and research-based reading instruction are essential, the foundation for learning how to read must be built long before children begin school. There are steps that parents and families can take to ensure that their children are on track to becoming successful readers. This reading adventure is one that parents will not want to miss because the benefits for their children will last a lifetime."
