Reading is one of the best activities to model for you child!  Take a few minutes to talk to you child about what you do when you read.  Discuss some of the reading strategies you use.  Add the strategies you talked about or the strategy you seem to use the most in the comments section.  If your child comes to school and can tell me one strategy that his or her mom or dad uses when reading he or she will earn one sticker towards a reading reward!
