As you know, there is no single more important way to read your child for reading than to read with him. You are your child's first educator. When you set aside time each day for reading together, think about the lessons you are teaching your child.
Books are important.
Books are fun. You can learn things on your own from books without the help of a teacher. As your son listens and follows along, precious reading readiness skills are being practiced. Listening, attention span is increasing. Comprehension is practiced s you stop to discuss the story.
