Parents are more concerned about reading than any other subject in school. Therefore, parents can and should play a key role in their child's reading development. 

In order for kids to achieve  in other subjects, reading skills must be developed.  Children should not have to struggle with word recognition when they should be reading quickly  for meaning and fluency.

One of a child's earliest and most important learning experiences ~ being read to ~ takes place at home. Parents are a child's first teacher. The home becomes an environment where young minds can grow to their fullest potential, and where parents can play active roles in their children's intellectual development.

 I  give you many links to visit so you can better understand the role you play in helping your child learn. Remember when the home and the school work together the only outcome is success!!
