10 Reading Tips for Parents
1. Let your child see you reading for pleasure.
2. Read to your child in your primary language. Listening skills come before reading skills.
3. Listen to your child read to you and or to relatives.
4. Reward your child for reading using praise, new books, a success chart, etc.
5. Develop your child's experiential background. This will allow her to relate reading activities to life!
6. Build vocabulary activities through games and practice! Try word bingo or a word game together!
7. Use BookAdventure.com to help build reading comprehension skills.
8. Take your child to the library regularly.
9. Let your child get excited about books of his/her choice!
10. Turn off the TV and READ. Read the books that correspond to upcoming Movie Blockbuster hits!
Speed Reading Classes for Middle and High School Students and Adults!

MUST READ BOOKS FOR FAMILIES!
Parents: Check out these books!
Dr. Ruth Peters:
OVERCOMING UNDERACHIEVING
and
DON'T BE AFRAID TO DISCIPLINE
Dr. James Dobson
BRINGING UP BOYS
Don't judge these books by their titles! Dr. Peters' books are designed to help parents motivate their kids with ways that the students will respond to (like freedom incentives). Dr. Peters teaches parents how to communicate effectively with children of any age. Dr. Dobson's book gives solid advice of how to bring up boys in a difficult society and teach them to become strong, successful men! These are certainly "Must Read" books on my list!
