Reading

Promote Reading

• Designate a family reading time. Read anything and everything.
• Connect reading to bedtime. 
• Let the lights stay on for a while if your children are reading in bed.
• Take books or audio books on family drives.
• Read to each other whatever and wherever you can, such as during a meal or while waiting.
• Encourage children to carry a book with them to read in spare moments. 
• Don't just read, share understandings and interpretations.
• The desire to read and the delight in doing so are among the greatest gifts you can give your children.
