By The Partnership For Reading , Ed.
2004
Summary: This guide for parents describes the importance of reading for success in school. Preschool and kindergarten teachers set the stage for children to learn to read by teaching some critical early skills. Parents can help by understanding what teachers are teaching and by asking questions about their child’s progress and the classroom reading program. This guide describes what a quality reading program should look like at school and how parents can support the program through activities with their children. Parents should make reading a part of every day.
