Every student needs extra reading practice daily.
The most effective way to become a better reader is to read, read, read. Studies show that students lose valuable reading skills over the summer. I want to encourage you to take time this summer to find at least thirty minutes a day for reading practice. Have an older brother or sister practice with them. Make a cassette tape of some books and have your child read along for thirty minutes a day, or decide on a special time each day when you and your child can practice reading together.
