Learn to Read - Family Reading Time

A quiet time for family members to read on their own may be the only chance a busy parent gets to read the paper.

What You'll Need

• Your own reading materials.
• Reading materials for your children.

What To Do

1. Both you and your child should pick out something to read.
2. Don't be concerned if your beginning readers pick materials that are easier than their school reading books. Practice with easy books (and the comics) will improve their fluency.
3. If you subscribe to a children's magazine, this is a good time to get it out. There are many good children's magazines, and youngsters often get a special thrill out of receiving their own mail.
4. Relax and enjoy while you each read your own selections.

A family reading time shows that you like to read. Because you value reading, your children will too.
