How can I encourage my kids to read?

Encourage Reading!

Reading to your child is an undisputed important link to learning and future success in school.

Ensure that you set aside time each day to read to your children, and approach it as an enjoyable activity, not a chore. Reread the same book as often as children wish, it is how they start to recognize words. Encourage the child to start telling the story, point out letters and words to see if they recognize them. Not only is it quality time spent together, but it furthers a child's love for learning.
