Level Readers

Allow children to choose their own reading material.
Set a good example as a reader. Read alone and read aloud. Elementary-aged independent readers still enjoy being read to.
Children who are excited about reading will continue to read. Allow children to self-select books that speak to their interests.
Allow children to read at their own pace. Comprehension is more important than speed.
Talk with your child about what he/she is reading.
Create opportunities to read books and discuss them with your child.
Visit your public library and get a library card
