Research indicates that in those families where reading is a regular activity, children perform better in school. This is not the only the reward. A report by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAEP) indicates that children who are read to by a family member feel loved, comforted and secure. Fifteen minutes each day is all it takes. Let your child listen as you read. Have a conversation about the story. Let your child reap the benefits that come from reading together.
For more information, copies of the NAEP Report to Parents, The Rewards of Reading are available at the SES front desk.
