Instructors:
Kate Maurais / Melissa Petropoulos

Reading is a lifelong skill you never stop working on, and that’s why it’s a core subject throughout your child’s K–12 education.

As parents, you are an important partner in their children’s education and can offer reading support by:

  • Prevent students from getting discouraged.

  • Choose books that interest them and at an appropriate level.

  • Encourage students to read.

  • Make reading fun for them.
