Maximize the positive effects of reading at home

Reading at home boosts academic achievement. To make it a positive experience, look for high-interest books at the library with your child and refresh your supply often. Then, read them together. If your elementary schooler struggles with reading, take turns reading sentences. Pause from time to time and ask thought-provoking questions, like "What do you think will happen next?" Your child is more likely to be interested in reading if you set an example by reading often yourself.
