| Summer is the Perfect Time for Reading!
Reading just 4 - 6 books over the summer vacation can prevent summer learning loss and accelerate reading growth--plus it's fun!
Encourage your child to read at home this summer with these easy tips: -Make reading part of your daily routine. Even 20-30 minutes can make a difference. -Read aloud as a family and encourage your child to read independently too. -Ask open-ended questions. Why did you like (or dislike) this book? How is it similar or different from another book you've read? -Is there one title your child particularly enjoys? Visit the local library and ask a librarian for suggestions of similar titles to read next. -Let your child see you reading! Children learn positive habits when they have positive role models.

| Show Your Child How Important Reading Is To Your Entire Family
Reading shouldn't always be a solo act! Involve your whole family in preparing your child to be a reader. To make language learning a family affair:
+ Share family history. Ask siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins to tell your child stories about your family's past.
+Create a reading nook. Set aside a comfy spot at home where everyone can plop down with a book. Have a family reading time a least one a week--everyone gets together and reads!
+ Read all day long. Look at street signs. While grocery shopping, ask your child to help you find specific products. Even if he can't read yet, he can look for the k in ketchup or the b in bread.
