Research shows reading aloud to your child is one of the most valuable support parnts can provide in helping children learn to read.

• Be a Ham!  The more enthusiasm you display, the more your child will enjoy the book.
• Find  ways to relate the stories through your child's real life experiences.  
• Be a good reading model.  Show your child that YOU enjoy reading too.
• Remember -- children who read at home tend to enjoy books more and tend to be better readers than children who do not read at home.
