When reading to your child, consider reading books that are above his reading level.  This is an excellent way to introduce topics of interest as well as classic literature.  Bring attention to the meaning of words that may be unfamiliar.

Listening to a book on tape while following the text is  great for those who are not yet reading fluently. In order to develop comprehension skills, ask questions such as, “What do you think will happen next?” or “What would you do if you were in this story?”

Hope all of you have a fun and safe summer vacation.  And, remember to READ.
