Reading Is Important
You should all know how important it is
to read to your children. Children whose families
read with them have better language and
literacy skills in school. And the bonds
that you make with your children when
you read with them help them feel loved,
comforted, and secure. Like most families,
you want to read with your children, but
somehow days can go by without you sitting down with them and opening a book.
The key is to make it a priority. Here are
several suggestions to help your children
improve their reading skills.
Fifteen minutes a day can change their
lives. You may be surprised to know that
educators recommend just 15 minutes
a day of reading, as a minimum. Like
exercise, of course longer sessions are even
more beneficial.
