Read With Your Children
Learning to read takes practice. Loving to read takes enthusiasm! So read with your children often and create a sense of enjoyment, wonder, and even a passion for reading. For struggling readers, start with short sessions and with books they choose.
How early should my child learn to read?
You can make a big difference. Children who are read to at least three times a week by a family member are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading than children who were read to less than 3 times a week.
Your Independent Reader (ages 9-12)
A child in grades four through six has probably mastered basic reading skills and can read independently for pleasure. This is a great time for you to keep encouraging and motivating your child to read more often.
Your Teen (ages 13 & Up)
Your teen has a lot of competing interests that may not make reading a priority to him. Between their active social lives and extracurricular activities, it's no wonder many adolescents choose not to be regular readers.
