Reading and Writing
Rediscover the power of reading: Take time to relax and enjoy books. Spend time reading with your child even if it’s a cereal box, a recipe, or directions to a video game. Find time to read with your child, to your child and also time for your child to read independently. Let your child read what interests them. Student choice is a huge motivator for reading. Explore digital and ebooks available through school and library resources. Have your student write whenever possible! Write out a list, plans for the day, etc.
