The importance of being a good reader cannot be underestimated.
It's well known that good readers do better in school.
The role of the parent is critical to ensure their children not only read, but enjoy it as well.
I've been an avid reader since I was seven.
My parents passed the love of reading on to me.
I passed it on to my daughter and she to her son.
As a teacher I witnessed the problems students encountered when they read below grade level.
These students had difficulty achieving good grades and, consequently, had low self esteem.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you read to young children.
It's never too early to start.
Many parents read to their new born infants.
As the child grows older, reading becomes an interactive activity.
Many books give young children a chance to experience the story through interactive pages.
This fosters an interest in continuing to read.
When it comes to reading, there is no substitute for a parent.
It gives the child and parent quality time together.
It also offers a chance for communication, understanding and fosters good parent/child relationships.
Introduce your child to the library at an early age.
They can help choose the books you will read together.
This prepares them for school.
Children, who are prepared, in this way, tend to do better in school.
By encouraging reading, you are helping your child to build language and communication skills.
Studies show that those who read as children, continue to read as adults.
There are too many children that fall through the cracks when it comes to reading.
It should not be an activity just for school and homework but also for enjoyment.
Let your child see you reading books, magazines and newspapers.
As your child gets older, and develops their own interests, keep an open mind about what they choose to read.
Have them read for at least twenty minutes a day including weekends.
Good readers develop better vocabulary and grammar skills.
You must continue to encourage your child to read.
There are many distractions for today's children - TV, video games, cell phones.
Reading is alternative entertainment which fosters imagination, critical thinking and concentration.
There are many tutoring franchises that have student who are struggling with reading and not doing well in school.
Many of these children do not have learning disabilities.
They have never been encouraged to develop an interest in reading.
If a child is deficient in reading, they will be deficient in almost all subjects.
Save yourself worry and money by teaching your child to enjoy reading.
Remember, no one can replace you in guiding your child.
Since good readers get better grades, encourage your child to read and to read often.
