Nightly Reading is Critical for Academic Success

How does one become a better student? It's easy! Nightly reading is a wonderful lifelong habit and has been

shown by many different educational studies to be a major factor in a student's academic success. Reading

provides opportunities for vocabulary growth and continued learning. Ideally, reading should be enjoyable and

hassle free but even if your child is not a willing participant it is important to set aside at least 15-20 minutes a

night for reading time.

 

Additionally, I encourage parents to read aloud to their children. This is a wonderful chance to spend some

quality time together and it also provides a positive reading role model. The time you invest now will pay off

ten fold in your child's future. I hope you will take the time to read the

article "Why Nightly Reading?" on this web site.
