Encourage reading, one chapter at a time
Foster excitement about the idea of reading by introducing your child to the pleasures of chapter books. Find a book you think your student will enjoy. It could be a classic or a new book recommended by a teacher or the librarian. Have your child read (or you read aloud) just one chapter a night. Then, talk about the story. Ask your child to predict what will happen next. If your child enjoys the book, see if it has a sequel and read that one, too!
