Reading has always been an important skill, today it’s more important than ever. 

Make time for reading every day

Make reading together a special time away from interruptions like television or phones. Your child will value the time spent together. It’s also an excellent way to take a break from screen time.

If your child is tired or restless, keep the session short – approximately 5 minutes. When they are feeling up to it, you can extend the time. 5 to 10 minutes every day is better than one 20 minute session a week.
