We Need Your Help!

Please show your child how to protect the environment and support their school by having them recycle and bring all used HP, Lexmark, and Dell ink and laser cartridges as well as all unused cell phones, IPods, and MP3 players to school for recycling.

1.  Read aloud to your child, even after he or she can read him or herself.

2.  Encourage your child to try different authors, genres, and themes.

3.  Don't make reading a chore equitable with washing dishes or feeding the dog.

4.  Share a book - alternate reading pages with your child.

5.  Limit computer, television, and video games in order to create more free time for reading.

6.  Keep books in the house with subjects that might interest your child, such as mechanics or horses.

7.  Listen to books on tape.  Ask your child questions about what he or she hears.

8.  Let your child have his or her own books.

9.  Visit the public library together.  Get your child a library card if he or she doesn't already have one.

10.  Read your own book where your child can see you.

11.  Let your child read at a level that is comfortable for him or her, rather than pushing your child to read at a higher level.

12.  Ask your child to read to a younger sibling or another child.
