Read Regularly!

Reading is an invaluable skill that only improves with practice. Parents can help by providing access to books and reading aloud to their children. While it's important to practice reading in the target language, not every book must be in English. Reading in their native language can help students preserve their culture while also improving their overall reading fluency. Students who read well in another language are more likely to experience success in English literacy.
