Reading With Your Child
 Just 20 minutes a day reading aloud with young children strengthens relationships, encourages listening and language skills, promotes attention and curiosity, and establishes a strong reading foundation. These skills are essential for success in school and in life.
It takes hundreds of hours of “lap time” for a child to acquire the pre-literacy skills necessary for learning to read early and well. From birth to age five, the pleasant activity of listening to and talking about stories trains a child's brain, ears, and eyes for eventual success in learning to read.
“The early years set the stage for later learning…the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.”
Becoming a Nation of Readers: The Report of the Commission on Reading
Once a child begins to read, it is essential to continue reading aloud together. Like other skills, reading is mastered over time, with lots of practice, and with the help of another person. There is practically no way to do it wrong, but there are ways to do it better. We are here to help you. The routine of sharing books together creates lifelong readers.
The magic of this process is the simplicity of action. Any adult can do it, in just about any place, with little or no expense. It doesn't matter what language is spoken. Non-reading parents can make up stories to go with the illustrations. The essential elements are scheduled time with books and a positive attitude!
Make reading together the most important - and happiest - 20 minutes of your day! |

Health
Healthy Kids, Ready Learners
Evidence is mounting that kids who eat well and are active are better equipped to do well in school including improved test scores and attention. They come to school on time, focused and ready to learn.
This relationship has been particularly well documented when it comes to eating breakfast. Breakfast really is fuel the body needs to start the day. Mom is right. Skipping breakfast can interfere with learning, even in children who generally eat well.
Numerous studies, reviews and position papers, and references in The Learning Connection report that, in addition to boosting brainpower, breakfast has been shown to curb behavior problems, reduce absenteeism and help children focus. For years, schools have encouraged better nourishment during testing time, knowing that eating breakfast can improve scores. Why not make sure kids eat a good breakfast (and lunch and dinner) every day?
With kids spending 1,000 hours per year in schools, schools can serve as the “great equalizer” across economic, racial and social differences. Ideally, they provide a level playing field where kids can learn lifelong habits that will help them be healthy. Schools are also a critical connection point for parents, families and communities, all of which play important roles in helping children learn good nutrition and how to be active. Read about Our Approach to working with schools to make this a reality. |
