• Your Family is Ready to
  Gear Up

  
  
  

  Your family is juggling a lot. Though it can be stressful to find time for it all, you’re making it work. Your family is ready for an organized reading journey! Here’s how your family can gear up.

  • Plan the habit. Try taking a few minutes tonight to plan in advance for how you will slot reading time into your schedule.
    • Include a book in your child’s bedtime routine. Read aloud to your child, or remind them to read a few pages of their book before bed.
    • Schedule a library visit in advance for when you’re already out and about. (PS: Many libraries no longer charge fines for overdue books.)
    • If you take a train or bus with your child, or wait at a laundromat, bring a book as a fun distraction.
  • Prioritize choice. Empower your child to choose their own books, which is proven to increase reading motivation. Ideas:
    • Have your child browse the library shelves and/or share their interests with a librarian.
    • Children also enjoy rereading old favorites, which builds comfort, understanding, and vocabulary.

  Your Family is Ready to
  Rev Up

  
  
  

  Your family are adventurous readers! You read all sorts of stories and texts. This is a great way for your child or children to build background knowledge and vocabulary, so they can continue to succeed as they grow. Here’s how your family can rev up.

  • Grow vocabulary. Try modeling for your children the habit of looking up unfamiliar words in the dictionary.
  • Read together. Your child benefits from independent reading as well as reading with you. Take turns reading to each other, and discuss books.
  • Level up. Encourage your child to complete a “reading challenge” in which they try to meet a goal, such as a number of books read or a checklist of a variety of types of books. You can find reading challenge options online or at your library or school.

  Your Family is Ready to
  Level Up

  
  
  

  Your family is ready to thrive as readers. Learning to read takes time. Your support makes a real difference in your child’s reading journey! Here’s how your family can gear up.

  • Be positive. Celebrate every step forward your child makes.
  • Read together. Take turns reading to each other. Make it cozy and fun—snuggle under the covers or make a blanket fort.
  • Support. Talk honestly with your child about reading struggles and why it’s worth continuing. Ask them to brainstorm the benefits.
  • Empower. Let your child choose their own books and see you doing the same.
  • Practice phonics. Ask your child's teacher how you can support specific reading skills at home.

Lectura en el hogar ＞

• Su niño o niña aprende en todas partes, no solo en la escuela. Su hogar está lleno de oportunidades para que aprenda y progrese en la lectura.
• HABITACIÓN
  

  A la hora de acostarse, pónganse cómodos bajo una cobija y lean un libro. O pídale a su niño o niña que lea u hojee un libro durante 20 minutos. ¡Haga voces graciosas para aumentar la diversión!

  BAÑO
  

  Deje notas de motivación en el espejo del baño para animar a su niño o niña a medida que progresa en su lectura. Pídale que escriba notas de respuesta para establecer una conexión nueva.

  SALA

  ¿Qué tipo de planta es esta? ¿Por qué brilla esa lámpara? ¡Son buenas preguntas! Estimule la curiosidad de su niño o niña. Ayude a que busque las respuestas (y adquiera vocabulario nuevo) investigando en internet o acudiendo a la biblioteca para descubrir libros sobre estos temas.

  COCINA
  

  Leer recetas es una excelente manera de practicar cómo seguir instrucciones paso a paso y de aprender las medidas. La próxima vez que alguien cocine, ¡anime a su niño o niña a ayudar leyendo la receta a un miembro de la familia!
