Why Reading at Home is Important

laurendesharnais — 2013-11-19 02:50:07 UTC

-Children learn about literacy from their parents at an early age.

- In order for students to achieve in math, science, English, history, geography, and other subjects, reading skills must be developed to the point that most of them are automatic. Students cannot struggle with word recognition when they should be reading quickly for comprehension of a text.

-Parents can and should play a role in helping their children to become interested in reading and in encouraging their growth in reading skills.
