September 5, 2014

The image below captures the importance of daily reading at all levels. While the image illustrates the volume of reading up to grade eight, it is just as important to continue daily reading at all levels, considering that reading is a keystone to comprehension and understanding across all subject areas.
Research has shown that adult engagement has a positive impact on student success, and there are few easier ways to engage with your young learners than through reading.
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.
