January 2011 Home and School Connection
Love to Read!!
1. Create a reading friendly home.
Keep something to read in every room. You might put a basket of your childs favorite books in the living room, or bedroom.
2. Be a reading family.
Regular reading at home will help your child read school materials more easily. Set aside a time each day to read to your child and for him/ her to read on their own.
3. Match books to your child.
Familiar topics and likable characters can motivate your child to read. Ask a librarian or bookseller for suggestions.
