10 Ways To Raise A Strong Reader
One of the most significant discoveries in recent reading research has been the importance of providing children with a language-rich environment right from the start.
The following are 10 simple ways to bring literacy into the lives of your young children:
• Talk, sing and play with your child.
• Make time to read together each day.
• Choose books with care.
• Surround your child with reading material.
• Slow down and have fun.
• Read it again … and again. Even if this means the same story every night for weeks.
• Foster your child’s awareness of print and how we use it. Point out signs, labels, instructions, and words in public places.
• Provide a variety of writing tools and materials.
• Don’t pressure your child about what or when to read.
• Show your child that you value his efforts.
