- Turn off all technology!
- Make sure your child has a relaxed, comfortable place to read.
- Observe or listen to your child read.
- Ask them a question or 2 each night.
- Sign your child’s log after he or she reads. Each line is 15 minutes of reading.
- Help them get their book bag packed and ready to return to school.
