Parents Should Encourage Children to Read Over Summer Break

June 15, 2011

Parents should be involved in all aspects of their children’s education. Studies have shown (and are very obvious to teachers) that active involvement from the parents will result in higher achieving students. Parents can demonstrate and promote reading at home over the summer. Books of interest can entice children to want to read. The more children read the better readers they become. The library can be the best resource for finding interesting summer reading. Parents encouraging summer reading will help their children to be better prepared for the next school year.
