Editor's Notes
- #22 Make reading important Be a role model for reading! Let your child see you reading throughout the day. Join in our summer reading challenge! Give your child the power of choice The key to helping kids love reading is to let them choose their own reading materials. In fact, 92% of children and teens say they are more motivated to read and more likely to finish a book that they have selected. Use the suggestions below as a starting point for choosing great summer reads! Set aside time to read everyday We know that the more kids read, the better they become at reading. During the summer, encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes a day. Talk it up! Talking about books during and after reading helps with comprehension. Encourage your kids to share their ideas. Talk to them about what you are reading as well!
