1. Set Aside 20 Minutes of Family Reading Time
Establish a daily 20-minute reading window after dinner where everyone in the house reads storybooks, newspapers, or educational readers.
2. Create a "Word of the Day" Box
Encourage your child to look up 2 new English words in a dictionary every day and write them on a slip of paper. Have them use the words in sentences during family conversations.
3. Provide Accessible Reading Materials
Collect local newspapers, school library books, and educational magazines. Having readable materials visible around the home encourages spontaneous reading.
