Reading out loud matters!

Reading out loud helps children learn LOTS of written and spoken words, which can help with school.

Reading is a fun, special time with your child.  It helps you have a positive relationship.

Make reading time fun!  Talk about the pictures, make up stories, laugh together, and ask your child questions.

Reading together does not need to be time consuming.  Reading only takes a few minutes a day (see "Making a Plan").

Reading together does not need to be expensive.  Get books from the library or an inexpensive store (see "Making a Plan").

Make daily reading part of every day with your child.
