Schools all over the world will celebrate Dr. Seuss’s Birthday on March 2nd. It is also the start of “Read Across America”, the National Education Association’s annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.
Reading is one of the key components for academic success!
Help your child fall in love with reading by making it a special time with you!
Here are a few tips to help your child become a reader:
• Talk with your child — even infants — this increases language development.
• Make reading time fun by being animated and dynamic when you read!
• Role model reading.
• Ask open-ended questions that encourage a sense of wonder, imagination and creative thinking. Typical open-ended questions are “How” and “Why” questions and questions that don’t have one specific answer. They teach children to think and be creative!!
