Reading is an important part of you child's education.  A lot of information that your child learns is processed through the act of reading and writing.  Research has proven that one of the best ways to help children become better students and high achievers is to help them become better readers.  Teachers may tell you that you need to read at home with your child.  Listening to him/her read is not enough.  Reading can open a conversation between you and your child.  Guide him/her to increase understanding of what is read.
