There were countless times this year when I sat with a teacher and we talked about their most struggling readers. Now that we're nearing the end, some of these readers who were struggling at the beginning of the year have shown incredible growth in not only their ability to read, but more importantly their desire to read.
Do you want to know the secret?
These teachers showed parents the data, expressed their concerns to the parents, and the parents started reading with the students at home.
Not rocket science. Not a tutor or after-school program. Not a shiny new fancy reading intervention program. Just you.
Parents, you are your students' first teachers. Please read with them. Their future depends on it.
If you don't have any books, please find me. We will get you some books. :)
