Read to the young ones…
Pair and share reading responsibilities as they develop their skills…
Listen to older, more proficient readers…
Role model good reading habits for learners at all levels…
Read a variety of text types…
READ, READ, READ!
It is never too late to instill good reading habits…the earlier one starts to invest in reading, the more academically rich one will become.
