- Continue to read aloud together. Don't stop reading aloud just because you can read silently for yourself! Read to your siblings and cousins. Get your parents to read to you. Make it fun!
- Make a time for reading daily.
- Make a comfortable, well-lit place for reading daily.
- Talk together about what you are reading.
- Keep your own reading journal, listing what you have read and your thoughts about the book as you read and after you read.
- Acknowledge that reading daily will automatically improve your reading ability and prepare you for difficult texts on tests, in college, and on the job.
- Do it for yourself because it means you will have better opportunities in your future!
