What can parents do?
- Focus on the “love of reading”. Make reading a fun time at home. Take time to read at home to model that reading is for enjoyment. Tell your child about your favorite book or author.
- Ensure that your child has access to a variety of books at home. Visit the library or book store.
- Make reading a regular part of your child’s daily activities.
- Allow your child to read about their interests. Let them choose the books and topics.
- Read to your child daily (at any age!)
- Ensure regular attendance at school.
- Participate in the home reading program selected by your child’s teacher.
- Attend Student-Led-Conferences
- Limit screen time (TV, video games, etc) to make room for ‘page time’.
- Support the SRC magazine sales and purchase a great magazine for your child and yourself!
- Speak positively about reading (and school in general). Telling your child that you hated reading (or math, etc) gives them license to do the same.
- Call your child’s teacher if your child is having trouble or if you have questions.
- Get involved in school activities and events to let your child know that school is important to you.
