Summer is the time we're all looking for! It's the time we use to relax, recharge our energies and do all those things we postpone for the most part of the year. Yet one of the most dreary consequences in our children is learning loss. To avoid it, parents ought to plan activities that include plenty of opportunities for their children to be in contact with books. To start, take your children to your local library. Most libraries have summer reading programs which provide both intrinsic rewards and incentive programs to reading all summer long!
It's also important that you help your child to develop reading comprehension. Help your children by asking them to stop, review, clarify, make connections with previous readings and experiences, and reread if necessary. Also, have your child read books to you. Have them stop when they encounter difficult vocabulary, passages, and pronunciation of words.
Read a book together! Take turns reading with your child and modeling appropriate reading comprehension when it’s your turn to read! Make reading a daily routine. Twenty or thirty minutes would be enough. Read in front of your child. Reading is contagious. The more your child sees you read the more they will think it’s a good idea too!
Have grandparents, favorite aunts, uncles, close family friends, etc. to suggest your child would like to read. Go to a book store, garage sale, or look for books in the internet. Nowadays there are several digital libraries offer books/stories that could be read online. But most importantly: READ, the best way to become a better reader is to read.
