When summer comes along, many students can experience summer learning loss. The key to overcoming this is to find ways to get books into the hands of our students. Here are four quick tips for parents to increase the odds that their children will read over the summer:
1. Schedule weekly trips to the public library to pick out books that they want to read.
2. Have your child select books that they want to have read aloud by you.
3. Encourage your child to read in bed. Some parents even allow their children to stay up later if they are reading.
