Emphasize the Importance of Reading

• Parents who read usually have children who read.
• Reduce TV viewing and video game time, and increase reading time.
• Set aside a time each day when you and your child will read.
• Read aloud to your child.  Reading with expression shows a child that you love books and that you enjoy reading to them.
• Share what you have read with your child, and ask your child to do the same.
