Tips To Help Your Kids Celebrate Reading
It's been proven that children who read achieve. They boast higher test scores and recognize letters and numbers more often than their peers who read less often. But getting children to crack open a book sometimes can be the tricky part for parents and teachers.
Nine years ago, the National Education Association launched the "Read Across America" program to encourage, excite and energize children to do just that.
Originally created as a one-day event to celebrate the joy of reading on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss, NEA's Read Across America has grown into a nationwide initiative that promotes reading every day with more than 45 million participating annually.
"As teachers and parents, we know that kids who read - and are read to - do better in school and in life," said NEA President Reg Weaver.
NEA, the nation's largest professional employee organization, representing 2.7 million teachers and education support professionals, offers the following tips for parents on how they can promote reading year-round:
* Provide encouragement. Parents play a crucial role in their children's education. Children who report that their parents encourage them to read are more likely to read a higher volume of books than those who say that their parents leave it up to them.
* Have books available to your children. Access to books is fundamental to reading success. Increasing access to print material is the most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income children.
* Make it fun. Children who read frequently are better readers and better students. Studies and research show that students who read for fun have better reading scores.
"NEA's Read Across America provides a unique opportunity to encourage parent and child interaction to foster literacy on a large scale," Weaver said. "We remind parents, teachers, children and the community that reading is indeed fun because you're never too old, too wacky, too wild to pick up a book and read with a child."

Research shows that parental involvement in schools improves student achievement, reduces absenteeism and restores confidence among parents in their children's education.
"Children need parents who have an interest in what's going on in the classroom," said Reg Weaver, president of the National Education Association. "Parents must do everything they can to get their children fully engaged at school, reinforce their learning at home and develop a strong relationship with their teachers."
NEA, the nation's largest educators organization, offers the following tips for parents on how they can ensure a successful educational experience for their children:
* Go to parent-teacher conferences. If the school doesn't have them, set aside a time to meet with your children's teachers. Ask how your children are doing and review their work. Let the teachers know how and when it is best to reach you. Finally, ask how you can support your children's learning at home.
* Visit the classrooms. Getting a firsthand look at what is going on in your children's classrooms will help you stay informed about what they are learning at school.
* Join the PTA or other parent group. Go to school events, such as back-to-school night. As a group, parents can help schools reach their goals.
* Pay attention to what your children are learning at school. Be aware of what they need to know to meet the standards set for their grade level.
* Contact the school if you have any concerns.
Parental involvement also means reading to your children, checking homework every night, limiting television viewing on school nights or simply asking your children about their school day.
"Whatever your level of involvement, do it consistently and regularly because it will make an important difference in your children's lives," Weaver said.
