As we approach summer, it is time to make a commitment to have plenty of reading material for children to read daily. This doesn't necessarily mean a financial investment. Our public libraries will have reading times and lots of great books. Here are some lists that can help your child get started.

April is National Poetry Month
Celebrate National Poetry Month by reading poetry with your children. Pick up a couple of children's poetry books and have your child find a favorite one. Read it several times. Write it in a journal. Carry a copy in your pocket. Memorize it. Record it on your cell phone. Video tape your child reciting the poem. This repetition helps children read with expression, develop fluency, and want to read more poems. Everyone loves to be able to recite a poem on demand and all children love seeing or hearing themselves perform.
