Parents,

Here are some ideas to make reading a fun and enjoyable part of your daily routine! Here's how you can help:

• If you have concerns about your child's reading, and would like addition support to work with them at home, please send me an email. I can send research based interventions and information to practice specific skills based on their reading level. This can be used towards their 20 minutes of reading each night. 

• Let them choose. Encourage your child to read for pleasure by letting them pick books they genuinely find interesting, whether it's a graphic novel, a non-fiction book about their favorite animal, or a comic.

• Read together. Even if your child can read independently, continue to read aloud with them. This is a great way to build their vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

• Make it a habit. Set aside a regular, cozy time and place for reading each day. You can read your own book at the same time to show them that reading is a valuable and relaxing activity.

• Explore the library. Regular trips to the local library can help them discover new authors and genres, showing them that the world of books is full of endless possibilities.
