The more children read the better readers they become!

Encourage your child to read by:

• having reading materials that your child is interested in
• reading and talking about books with your child
• letting your child see you read
• doing hands- on activities with your child about a book
• going to the public or school library with them
• watching a movie based on a book, then read the book and have your child compare and contrast the book to the movie
• making reading FUN!
