LITERACY CORNER:
Ways to Encourage Your Child to Read
Do you know the impact of 20 minutes of reading per day? The reader is exposed to 1.8 million words per year and scores in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.
You can make a DIFFERENCE by reading every night with your child.
Here are three ideas to help encourage your child to read at home.
Zero in on Your Child’s Interests: What topics interest your child? Horses? Read Black Beauty and find nonfiction articles on famous horses like Seabiscuit.
Expand Your Definition of Reading: Include magazines, comic books, and graphic novels in your child’s library.
Pair Books with Activities: If your child reads Mr. Poppins’ Penguins, then maybe you could plan a trip to the zoo. Another idea would be to have a family movie night and watch the movie version of the book.
Remember to have fun and enjoy your time reading together.
