Extend Read Across America: The Road to Super Readers Leads
Home
March first, schools around our district celebrated Dr. Seusss birthday
by participating in Read Across America, a national event that has
schools, libraries and community centers focus on reading.
This fun day is a great opportunity for families to re ignite a love andpassion for reading at home. Children who read at home are more likely
to be successful students at school.
Build on Read Across Americas fun Dr. Seuss theme and spend a week
reading Dr. Seuss books as a family for 20 minutes each night. Close the
week with a movie from The Cat in the Hatseries and a meal of green
eggs and ham. You and your family could continue these themes using
his/her favorite book series or a nonfiction topic like ants or space.
Reading doesnt need to be complicated though. Allotting at least 20
minutes each day to cuddle together on the couch with a book is all it
takes to begin building roads that will lead your child to libraries, book
stores, and success in school.
My turn, your turn strategies invite your child to read to you after you
have read to them. Listening to your child read aloud gives you an idea
of strengths and weaknesses that can be built upon. Use this time to
encourage, not correct. Direct your child toward materials that are
comfortable for him to read and understand. Extend this time, and have
your child listen to you read about science and social studies topics that
will introduce new vocabulary and background knowledge he can draw
upon when these topics are discussed in school.
Most importantly, use Dr. Seuss day to make reading fun again!
