Do you want your child to become a better reader?

Of course you do. Think of reading like any other activity that your child participates in.  You want them to enjoy it, try their best, socialize, improve, and build self confidence. Most likely you will be investing time and money. You show your dedication and love through supporting your child.

We must invest in reading. Children need to see us value text in all forms. We need to honor their interest by allowing them to self select titles.  We want to foster their love of reading by making it a social event through discussion and interaction with peers.  Children need to practice to improve.  Think about the upcoming summer months.  How will you invest?

There is an overwhelming amount of research supporting that our most successful readers read much more than our struggling readers.  Lets take away all of "the work around reading" such as memorizing vocabulary, and act like real life readers...read, think, react, discuss, read.
