Reading

I just wanted to post something I found about reading. "Read with your child 20 minutes a day!" Reading together as a family is important because it emphasizes to children just how important reading is. Don't forget to be involved in the education of your child at home and at school. Your involvement shows the importance of a good education.
Here are a few websites I found very interesting: The Children's Reading Foundation and Little Ones Reading Resource

I also found this poem:

20 Minutes a Day

Read to your children
Twenty minutes a day;
You have the time,
And so do they.
Read while the laundry is in the machine;
Read while dinner cooks;
Tuck a child in the crook of your arm
And reach for the library books.
Hide the remote,
Let the computer games cool,
For one day your child will be off to school;
Remedial? Gifted? You have the choice.
Let them hear their first tales,
In the sound of your voice.
Read in the morning,
Read over noon,
Read by the light of Goodnight Moon.
Turn the pages together,
Sitting close as you'll fit,
'Till a small voice beside you says,
“Hey, don't quit.”
