Upper Elementary Students

Continue to encourage your child to read to learn and for enjoyment.  Talk about what your child is currently reading and try to enhance his or her knowledge by sharing a magazine article or website on the computer.  If there is a way to connect the books to a place to tour or visit, try to make it a family adventure.  Sometimes books at this level are made into movies, and it's fun to see them after reading the book.  If your child really enjoys a book, see if the author has others he or she might enjoy.  Don't give up reading aloud to your child.  If you both still enjoy it, it  continues to have the same benefits.  There are so many things to read-manuals, magazines, recipes, letters-don't feel limited to novels!
