Easy Ways to Raise Readers!

Nothing revolutionary here...just simple stuff!

• Surround yourself with reading material

• Read for leisure (yes, the idea is for the kids to see you enjoying reading to yourself, as well as to them!)

• Bring something to read wherever you go (this is why, when my family goes to one of these great events, I prefer BART—we can grab the book we’re reading together, & knock off several chapters!)
