• 1. Family Reading Hour
    For children to become lifelong readers, it's important that they view reading as something that enriches our lives, not just an academic chore in school. One way to accomplishe this is by establishing a family reading hour. A student is never too old to be read aloud to!

    2. Write a Sequel
    Does your student have a favorite story? Encourage them to write a sequel.

    3. Tell Family Stories
    Teach values, pass on family history, cultural traditions and build your student's listening and thinking skills. Photos from a family album can illustrate the stories.

    4. Family Collage
    Your student will love making a photo collage of your family. Try mixed media!

    5. Shopping Lists
    Next time you go grocery shopping, let your student write the list and help locate items in the store.

    6. Kitchen Helpers
    Browse a cookbook with your student. Pick out a recipe and read through the instructions. Make something yummy!

    7. That's a Rap
    Put your creative talents to use and tell your favorite story with rhythm!
