How can I help my child become a reader?
READ, READ, READ!!!
It is very important to read 10 minutes everyday -
including weekends. The easiest way to do it is to make it a bedtime
routine.
In addition, parents should read at home. Children will model what
they see!
Read aloud to them or share a book with them.
After you are done
ask questions and discuss some parts of the book. What happened
first, then, next and last?
Also help your child sound out words... using this reading strategy poster might help.

You can also have plenty
of reading material available (i.e. visit your
local library, magazines, newspapers, comic strips,
brochures, and borrow-a-book will be starting mid October etc...) so they can read at any time.
Don't forget, turn off the t.v. and ... read, read, read!
