READING STRATEGIES
A report from National Summer Learning Association states that children lose about two months of learning over the summer.
Here are some hints to keep the kids hitting the books:
* Combine activities with books. Going to a baseball game? Head to the library and check out a biography about your child’s favorite player.
* Lead by example. Show kids that you love to read by picking up the newspaper each morning or sharing about something you’ve read, and they’ll understand that reading is important to everyone.
