Read To Your Children

"Reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity for building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read."

— Marilyn Jager Adams

Your child may be reading simple text, but he can understand more complex stories. The stories you share will challenge him with ideas and vocabulary that will build comprehension skills and background knowledge. It's OK to read a favorite book over and over again.

Select books from a variety of genres and topics including: non-fiction, realistic fiction, science fiction, poetry, fantasy, and biography. There are many resources which recommend books by age level.
