READING TIPS:

1. Read a variety of material to your child.  Letters from Grandma, bedtime stories, articles from the newspaper or magazines are all great reading material.

2.  Keep books handy all around the house.  Make books easily accessible to your children.  Keep reading material in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and near the television.

3.  Set an example for your children.  Let them see you read and write.  Talk about the interesting things you read about.

4.  Let your child read to you everyday.
