Reading Tips for Your Children

• Set aside a special place for your children to keep their own books.

• Read with your child 20 minutes per day

• Take your children to the library regularly. Get them their own library cards. Explore the children's section and find materials that are of interest to them.

• Remember: Not all reading takes place between the covers of a book. What about restaurant menus, road signs, food labels, and recipes? Take advantage of the spur-of-the-moment opportunities to read during the course of your family's busy day.
