Family Reading Night

Let's Get Reading!

Reading should be a lifelong pursuit. However, sometimes children need a little help to discover where their interests and aptitude lie. Perhaps as a parent you've asked yourself questions concerning your child's reading ability. Maybe you've thought to yourself:

How can I encourage my child to read?
What should I do if my child doesn't like to read?
How do I start to read with my child?

If so, then join us as we provide a forum for discussion as well as answers to some of these challenging questions.

Topics such as the following will be broached:

How to select appropriate reading material for children of different ages and skill levels
How to encourage a reluctant reader
How to begin reading with your child if you have not done so already
And much more...

As part of our program, will discuss how to plan monthly reading activities that you can do with your child and construct a sample that you can take home with you. By doing so, you will learn how to create exercises that will stimulate your child's passion for reading through a clear day to day chart.

Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your child's education on Tuesday, June 3 at 5 p.m. For parents of all ages.
