Today I would like to stress the importance of reading at home every day. (Even weekends and holidays! I can't require it as homework on those days, but I definitely recommend it.)

We work on reading a lot at school, but getting your child to read at home each day is crucial. 

I have a couple of links to share today from a website called Reading is Fundamental:

In addition to getting your child to read at home, reading aloud to your child is a great way to get kids into books. You can think of your read alouds as an "advertisement" for how much fun reading can be. In addition, the books that you read aloud can be on a higher level than what your child would be able to read independently, and will expose him or her to new vocabulary and more complex plot structures. Plus, you get to spend more time together! I will leave you with one more infographic about reading with your child:
