OVIATT ELEMENTARY

Reading
Reading is the fundamental skill for all learning and
elementary school is where children jump on the read-
ing superhighway. In just a few short years, most chil-
dren go from singing the ABC song to mastering books.
To help your children become skilled readers, try. these
suggestions:
Read to them.
Reading to your children is the single most impor-
tant thing you can do to help children develop a love of
books and reading. While bedtime is traditionally story
time, do not limit yourself. Keep books • in your car, in
your bag, by the sofa, and even by the bathtub. That
wa)¢ reading can easily be made part of the day. Also,
keep books on low shelves, on the floor, in toy chests,
or anywhere else your children can reach them.
Have plenty of material.
Books are not the only thing children can read. Post-
ers, maps, magazines, recipes and newspapers are great
reading material.Computer games that emphasize read-
ing skills may also be useful for your school-age chil-
dren.
Listen to them read.
From the day your child begins sounding out letters,
concentrate on how they are doing. Try to include some
"read aloud" time-where they are reading to you-in your
everyday routine. You can offer them praise and catch
any early problems before they have time to become
habits.
Model good reading habits and limit TV.
Your children need to see that reading is a lifelong
skill and a form of entertainment. When you take them
to the library to choose books, choose some for your-
sell too. If you can, subscribe to the daily newspaper or
to magazines and discuss articles you read with your
children. This shows children that reading is not only
schoolwork-it is something that's an integral part of
everyone's life. Also, limit the amount of time you spend
watching television.
Let them choose.
Within reason, allow your children to choose their
ownreading material. If they choose what to read, they
will be more likely to actually spend time reading. Get
your children their own library cards andrentrust them
with keeping their books in good shape and returning
them on time.
Ask the teacher.
Ask your child's teacher if your child has areas in
which he o r she may need extra help. Also, make sure
to let the teacher know if you have noticed any reading
