Reach for the Stars!

With summer on the horizon, it is easy to slip into bad habits. Make sure that reading every day is a good habit that you and your children keep! Instilling an independent reading time at least 20 minutes per day (I say 30 minutes!) will ensure that you have a quiet break and that your kids are focused on getting better at reading. They might fuss and complain at first (Believe me. I know.), but pretty soon they will expect the time and look forward to it. Kids like routine. Make reading a routine in your home. Happy reading!
