Reading Nook

Welcome to The Reading Nook!  Look for reading tips and strategies here to use at home in each newsletter.  This month we'd like to stress the importance of "free reading" for your child.  Studies have proven that 20-30 minutes of daily reading is the BEST way to improve vocabulary and overall reading comprehension. So...what can you do?  Make reading a priority by allowing daily time for your child to read at home in a comfortable place free of noise.  If a book is chosen that is too difficult, too easy, or "just not right" have him/her pick another one.  Model reading for your child and make it a family affair-you might enjoy it too!  Happy Reading!!
