Most people believe that children go to school to learn to read. However, to become good readers, children must develop certain foundation skills related to literacy before formal reading instruction begins in school. As your child's first and most influential teacher, you are in a position to provide these fundamental literacy experiences that can open the doors for your child to become lifelong readers! One of the very best things that parents can do to help their children become good readers is to help them develop a desire to read. This all-important desire is not born in a child, but it can be planted there by parents who who care enough to work at it! The books and strategies recommended on this website are designed to help you and your child have fun reading together. Your job is not to teach formal reading skills, but to help your child become an active participant in the reading process - taking turns with you, asking and answering friendly questions, making predictions, making up stories, and acting them out. Children who have had lots of experiences of these kinds reading activities are not only much more apt to view reading as a pleasurable experience but they also enter school with the critical foundation skills they need to become good readers.
Remember, children learn to read by being read to. They keep reading because they learn to love to read! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
