Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) month is underway at the Elementary School. Each day has a different theme at the school, and parents are encouraged to spend 15 minutes reading to their child each night. Here are some tips for Parents As Reading Partners:
- Read with your child for 15 minutes a day. Short, regular sessions encourage the reading habit.
- Use these 15 minutes in a variety of ways:
- Have your child read aloud to you.
- Read aloud to your child.
- Read the same page silently and then discuss it.
- Share the reading time by sitting together, each reading anything that is of interest - jokes, recipes, sports, poetry, biographies, adventure.
- If your child wants to continue reading at the end of 15 minutes, by all means encourage the child to do so!
