Read Across America

Schools all over the world will celebrate Dr. Seuss Birthday March 2and it also the start of Read Across America! Reading is one of the key components for academic success!   Help your child fall in love with reading by making it a special time with you! Here are a few tips to help your child become a reader:  ·Talk with your child — even infants — this increases language development. ·Make reading time fun by being animated and dynamic when you read! ·Role model reading ·Ask open-ended questions that encourage a sense of wonder, imagination and creative thinking. Typical open-ended questions are "How" and "Why" questions and questions that don't have one specific answer. They teach children to think&be; creative!! We will post a graph in front of the school to show how many books children are reading in school this month. If you would like to come in to read to your child's class please arrange a time that is best for your schedule with the lead teacher in your child's room.
