Early elementary reading skills can impact future success. How to help your child
|
|
- Reading proficiency by third grade is a key predictor of future academic success, with foundational skills like phonics essential for comprehension. Delayed interventions often lead to long-term challenges, including higher dropout rates and increased risks of incarceration.
- Family engagement and the value placed on education at home significantly influence literacy development. Parents and caregivers can support literacy by reading aloud, discussing books, and engaging in word-based activities. Schools and communities provide additional resources to help families foster reading skills.

Your children will do better in school if you read to them, here’s why
|
|
- Reading aloud to children from a young age fosters a love of reading, strengthens vocabulary, and helps develop essential communication skills. This foundational skill is critical for academic success from kindergarten through college and beyond.
- Even with busy schedules, reading can be incorporated into daily life with just five minutes a day, such as reading road signs or other simple texts on the go. Matching books to children’s interests, like those themed around video games, helps keep them engaged.
- Libraries provide a vast array of books for all reading levels and interests, including early readers and AR-level books aligned with school curricula. They are valuable tools for parents looking to nurture their child’s reading skills and academic growth.
