READ
Two types of reading
1. Reading for success: Any time of day, your child can read a letter, a word, a sentence, a book - at their level, not above, using only the sounds they have (and usually best not at bed time when they’re tired - reading’s hard work!)
- promotes success and accomplishment
2. Being read to - a “READ ALOUD”: At bed time (or any time) a parent, sibling, friend, or grandparent can read TO your child - any book that interests them
- inspires a love of reading
