Family Support for Reading

• Continue reading aloud to your child. This type of shared reading opens
  the door for conversation about reading and life.
• Look up the meaning of an interesting word you encounter once in awhile.
• Provide a quiet place for homework, writing and reading.
• Provide time for your child to read (30-40 minutes per day) on a regular
  basis. Research shows a direct correlation with reading achievement and
  success in school and how much students read during the day.
• Continue to visit the public library to check out books, for particular
  programs and to find information.
• Help your child find books. Keep up with new children's books by talking
  to teachers, friends, librarians and bookstore staff. Encourage your child to try
  new types of genres and types of books.
• Help your child find information in books, articles and on the computer.
• Talk about the books and materials you read and how you find new books.
• Ask your child to read aloud a favorite book, poem or story into a tape
  recorder and send the tape to someone far away as a gift.
• Encourage your child to participate in community programs that include
  reading and writing.
• Point out things your child does well as a reader and celebrate successes.
