If this is a question you have, you are not alone.
We know when children read more, they read better.
When they read better, they do better in school.
It all starts with reading.
So, how do we get kids started reading?
One helpful tip is to set a reading goal and then
create a chart to track progress. Be sure to provide a
reward of some sort to celebrate when the goal is
reached. The reward means more when you and your
child come up with the reward idea together.
Reward ideas don't have to cost money. They can be
one-on-one time with your child—playing a game
or maybe reading together! A visit to a favorite park
or a call with a favorite relative are great incentives to
encourage your child to read day after day.
On today's Kid Scoop News Parent Scoop page, we
have a ready-to-use Reading Chart that you can cut
out, copy and use again and again.

The goal is for
your child to
read at least 20
minutes each
day. Use this
chart to keep
track of their
progress.
