Reading Tips

Reading Rockets Home
It is very important for your child to read every night for at least 20 minutes. The more your child reads the more they will learn! If your child is a struggling reader there are great websites to assist you. The best one that I have found is http://www.readingrockets.org/. This website has a wealth of information to assist you in helping your child become a successful reader!!
